Full Permit Management and Code Compliance Inspections

Unpermitted electrical and plumbing work is one of the most common issues that surfaces during real estate transactions in Oakland County. A home inspector flags it, the buyer's lender requires resolution, and the seller ends up either opening walls for an after-the-fact inspection or accepting a price reduction. We see this regularly on renovation projects where previous work was done without permits. Pulling a permit before the work starts costs less than any of those outcomes.

For every project we complete, we pull the required building, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing permits with the local municipality. We prepare accurate scope-of-work descriptions for each permit application, pay permit fees, and manage the inspection schedule. Rough-in inspections happen before walls close. Final inspections happen after all work is complete and operational. Signed permit documentation goes to the homeowner for their records — that paperwork has a real function when they sell the house or make an insurance claim.

Inspection relationships matter in Oakland County. When an inspector has a question about a detail, a contractor with an established presence in the building department gets a conversation about it. An unfamiliar contractor gets a written correction notice and a re-inspection appointment that takes weeks to schedule. We maintain those working relationships by doing the work correctly and responding promptly when questions come up. That's why our projects move through inspection without unnecessary delays.
