As a GC myself I would be extremely leery of working with someone who suggested those approaches to you. You need a mechanical permit for the HVAC, and you need a residential construction permit or EZ permit open in order to pull the mechanical permit. For his second approach I can confidently tell you it will cost you much more money, and cause several delays. I would insist on him puling the permits. I would also have every possible scenario moving forward specified in the contract. If he isn't open to that, you need to find another contractor.

Thanks Jeff so here is what I understood -

EZ or construction permit - Step 1

Mechanical permit - Step 2 for the HVAC

Plumbing permit - Step 3 for the new bathroom to add

How long does it take for the town to send someone for the inspection for these 3 permits? E.g. - if it's Day 1 today then will they come on Day 30?

It depends on the area and the inspector but they normally schedule about a week out in Philadelphia.

I agree. It's a matter of fact I would just ditch this guy right now and find somebody else. Any contractor that starts off a project with this attitude is just going to be trouble in my experience.

Yes, exactly. Well said

If you are looking to save on having the floors refinished, ask for the pricing difference in just a "buff and coat" vs a full refinish. These floors may be a decent candidate for that
