Questions and answers

Can you help before I sell a home I have owned for years?

Yes. We can review records of earlier alterations, find missing information and help resolve questions before the sale.

Does a missing drawing mean something is unlawful?

A missing drawing alone is not enough to reach that conclusion. We look for other records and follow up unclear issues with the municipality.

Can you help seek approval for earlier work?

We help check existing permits and what the municipality needs to assess an application. Professional investigations or changes to the work may be necessary.
