Henry, your "We're not building the Empire State building" comment took me out! LOL! Thanks for sharing your knowledge on the process and for outlining some of the mandatory things that code departments will likely need across the board, regardless of where you are. And it's so helpful you shared how it went with your drafter and the items they needed to get you going. I appreciate you simplifying what can be a complex process. I think I'm getting the gist of this... I'm going to find out from the city: if I need a survey for my garage project, if raising the floor constitutes a structural change (city requires I elevate the floor), and I want solid confirmation on whether signatures and/or seals are needed for my modest garage remodel.
Thanks for the intel, Henry!
