Thinking Of Albuquerque Building Permit Application? Simple Steps To Follow

By Pamela Bennett


You have planned out the project, bought the materials, and hired a contractor. The project cannot begin if you have not applied for construction permits. Municipal by-laws require the property owners to apply for these permits for any new construction, demolition, or renovation projects. The Albuquerque building permit application process is time consuming and very confusing. If you follow the right procedure, you will not experience any hassle when you are applying for one. The following are very simple steps that property owners should follow when applying for the construction permits.

You should begin by contacting the local government department in charge of construction projects. You will be required to provide a description of the work that you want to do. If the project requires permits, you will be given a form that outlines all the requirements for applying for the permits. The form must be completely filled and signed before being submitted to the department.

At this point, you should begin preparation for applying for the permits. In most of the construction projects, you will be required to submit documents such as the drawings and sketches of the project that you plan to undertake. If you are remodeling your house, you must submit a detailed plan outlining the proposed changes. You will then submit the completed forms and pay whatever fee is required.

After you have submitted the documents, your local department will take some time to review them to determine if your project has complied with the local requirements. Depending on the nature of the project, several departments could be involved in the review process. The review will focus on the compliance of the project with the zoning guidelines, construction codes, fire prevention, mechanical plans, and so on.

The local government will notify you if the review process has been successful and if the plans have been approved. In some cases, there are necessary corrections that should be made to the project documents and the local government will notify you of the same. You can resubmit the documents after you make the necessary changes. The processing of the resubmitted documents takes a shorter time and you will be notified if it has been approved.

At this point, the local officials will issue the permits. As the owner of the project, this signals the beginning of the construction work on the property. It is important for you to note that on-site inspections will be conducted from time to time to ensure that the project plans are in conformity with local codes. During each of these inspections, the officials will give you an inspection record card to present during the next inspection. During the inspection, you will be required to present the permits and all the approved plans.

The permits cease to be relevant after the construction project has been successfully completed. After you have completed the project, a final review will be performed to assess the compliance of the project with local codes. There is a document that you will be given to act as proof of this compliance and to show that the project adheres to safety standards.

The process of applying for construction permits does not have to be daunting anymore. You can follow the above simple steps and you will be issued with the permits within no time.
