Renovation Approval : Do We Need to Get Renovation Approval?

DO WE NEED TO GET APPROVAL FOR RENOVATION?

Building renovation is a process of building makeover – that includes many things such as wall opening, an extension of the building and many more

It is illegal if you didn’t apply for approval to renovate your premises. A penalty will be charged to the owner of premises if they did not do so.

Besides getting the penalty of not making a building renovation approval, the authorities can force the owner and project developer to tear out the completed work.

The main point here is – safety.

Well, safety is the main reason why the renovation requires approval. By enforcing the standards of construction, the local authorities will give you guidance; so that if an emergency breaks out during the renovation process such as structural failure and presence of fire, there will be a chance to get out of that situation.

Renovation approval possession from the local authorities is very simple.

Before getting everything started, make an appointment with the said department and next, consult with the local building inspector. The person in charge will give the requirement plan approval. Then, the building renovation plan approval needs to be submitted to the local council.
