Purav Desai Basement drawings ? No idea :(
14 May 2020 | 2 replies
If they don't require the drawings to be Certified by a Licensed Architect, you can find someone with drafting/design knowledge to draw the plans for you for your submittal; however, when the Building Department reviews the drawings they will still want to ensure the proposal meets local Building Codes & Ordinances, or if they are the type of department that doesn't do thorough reviews, they could be leaving the liability to You in order to ensure the construction is safe & complies with codes.As a Licensed Architect myself, I recommend you consider the benefits of hiring a licensed professional, even if the building department doesn't require Stamped drawings; however, I realize that depending on how minimal the scope of work is, it may not provide you much additional benefit compared to finding a decent drafter at a lower cost...You may want to check out Upwork.com as well, theres a lot of posts on there for various architectural & drafting gigs all around the world.

Brendan Chisholm Fannie Mae Homestyle Loan update and lessons learned.

What I did not realize is that in Connecticut (and again, check with your local municipality and state) is the following Zoning rule: Although your property lies, in part, within a known flood hazard area, your submittals indicate that the improvements, shall be generally confined to the building footprint, and are not “substantial” per the “Flood Regulations” – meaning that the cumulative cost of the work will remain less than 50% of the fair market value of the structure.In view of the above, no special flood hazard, coastal, or inland wetland permits are required at this time.
