Planning & EstimatingQuestion 311 of 360
When must a plumbing permit generally be obtained relative to starting the work?
a.Any time within a year after finishing
b.Only if an inspector happens to visit
c.After the final inspection
d.Before the work covered by the permit begins
Explanation
A permit must be secured before starting the regulated work, since it authorizes the installation and sets up the required inspections. Beginning work without a permit can lead to stop-work orders, fines, and forced exposure of concealed work. Plan the permit into the schedule so it is in hand before the crew mobilizes.
