For any construction or demolition of buildings we need a permit that seems to be under the responsibility of the building owner. But it seems also that certain Builders licensed under the "New Home Construction Licensing Act" of 2017, can also apply for a permit. https://lnkd.in/gxERnXZU But you need to pass the exams to get a BCIN. It seems all builders and designers must be insured to be able to design, construct or give opinion - besides being licensed. You can have your permit revoked, especially if 6 months have passed and operations have not even commenced. All changes applied to your original submission must be updated and approved by the CBO. Change of use of property must also be approved by the CBO.

I.e instead of recommending a “damp survey”, recommend getting a JPS compliant survey and investigation. Repair guides I forgot the numbers of in the video.
