I have two questions but let me give you the details as to not confuse anyone. I went to go look at a property this week. SFH , 2/1 w a detached garage. 1940s . Fort worth texas area
•No existing central HVaC system.
•Electric needs upgrade all thru out home.
•plumbing needs to be updated all thru out.
1st question is
If hire to install the HVAC , get the plumbing replaced, and as well as all new electrical do i need to pull out permits as long as i get everything up to code and if the buyer send his inspector out itll be good can i avoid having to pull out permits and put in the description of my home when im selling it (that everything is upgraded and new) ?
Because w permits alone alot of my bids are charging almost 1200 more plus the permit .
2nd question
When im adding another room in the same square footage inside a home do i need to pull out permits in order for it to be legit and on paper . In other word to covert this 2/1 into lets say a 3/1 as long as its in the same sq footage and up to code do i need to pull out permitsor just when im adding square footage . My contractor said if im adding a room withing the 1040 square feet i dont need permits only if im adding sq ft to the homes but how will i get it to show on paper in the print do i need permits in order for it to be legit . ?
Thank you for your time and im sorry if i confused anyone !
