Simple Steps To Follow During Albuquerque Building Permit Application

By Pamela Bennett


Constructing a house is a very expensive undertaking and there are several important conditions that you must meet. If you are thinking of undertaking any new construction project, renovation or demolitions, you must visit the local government offices and begin the process of applying for construction permits. This document gives you the authorization to begin the construction project in accordance with the municipal code standards. The Albuquerque building permit application process is not as complicated as most people believe. The following steps will guide you through the process until the local department issues you with the permits.

The owners of construction process usually begin this process by contacting the local municipality offices to inform them of their intention to begin the construction work on their property. You will be provided with all the requirements that you will need to fulfill when applying for the permits. All applicants are required to fill in and append their signature on the forms issued by 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.

Once you have completed the project, you will not need the permits anymore. Local officials will inspect the construction project for the last time to check on its compliance with local requirements. They will issue you with a document showing the adherence of the project to the standards of safety.

You should not proceed with the construction project if you do not have the construction permits because this will cost you dearly. Follow the above steps to get one from your local department.
