When I pulled permits I had the fire Marshall out to address any issue preemptively and he noted that because the ceiling was too low in the back exit hallway my third floor apartment was only considered to have one means of Egress.

I was on board and put a deposit on one bid for "TPO with 1 inch insulation" for 20K, but now the company were applying for permits and the building division requires 5 inch insulation. 

I just direct customers to the specific unit application and then approve based on their application.

Our team of professionals are licensed and insured and can pull all permits.  

Any advice is appreciated..I grew skeptical of Home Depot and Lowe's...I find they hardly ever have the best prices..most contractors go there because of convenience, but then again, most contractors pass the cost of the materials to their customers :)

The ones that are open have taken major steps to protect customers and employees.The governor refuses to do a full state shut down, which would include mandating any non-essential businesses to close.

Yea was thinking the same L&I or permits might have to be pulled to cut down the tree.

One big concern I see is permits being put on hold and it messing up rehabs that need permits to be done properly.

We have custom plans with in law quarters and one plan for RV garage ( couple of or folks on the waiting list asked for those)..  

Probably too late at this point regardless, but there will likely be building code issues brought up (fire exits, clearance heights, non-permitted improvements).
