Permit Applications Take 8+ Hours and Delay Projects
Contractors spend 8-16 hours per permit application filling out municipal forms, calculating building areas, writing project descriptions, and gathering required documents. Each jurisdiction has different forms and requirements. Missing information causes rejections and resubmissions. Permit delays push project start dates by 2-4 weeks.
