Engineering is the careful design of a project’s site, structure, and building systems carried out by professionals, most often required to be professional engineers registered within the state in which the project is being built.
Permitting is the process of furnishing plans, details, and specifications to the required local, state, and/or federal agencies to confirm that the design meets certain criteria before construction may commence. These agencies can include planning boards, local code enforcement, the Department of Environmental Protection, the State Fire Marshal, etc.
Engineering & permitting are important in all aspects of building construction. From building a new commercial building to renovations, additions, or site design, almost everything involved in commercial construction requires a building permit or approval by a governing body.
As one may assume, acquiring the proper permits can oftentimes be a complex process. This is often due to not having a clear understanding of what the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) requires for documentation to acquire all the required permits for a particular project.
