Re: Permits and inspection question?

said by MikeJrod:

I'm helping a friend out and have done all the work on a nearly total gut on her house.

Any thoughts on what to expect?
In most areas, the inspector can nail you for playing contractor, plumber and or electrician without a license.

Basically, a homeowner can perform work on their own residence but can't perform work on other's. So if you're not living there, you may be in more trouble than you think.

I learned that lesson the hard way many years ago. Helped a friend build a duplex he intended to rent. I did all the plumbing and electrical. When building inspector found out he was not pleased. Had to get licensed electrician and plumber to sign off on work. Was probably the most inspected building in town.

If you are helping someone build a private residence, as opposed to commercial or rental property, it is not a big deal as long as you are doing it for free and owner/builder is the one being held responsible for work.
