Tracking Your Building Permits

How to add and manage building permits, track status, and maintain compliance.

Why Track Permits?

Building permits are legal requirements for construction work. Your bank, insurance company, and local building department all need to know your permits are in order.

Adding a Permit

1. Navigate to the project settings or permits area
2. Enter the **permit number** assigned by your local building department
3. Note the **issue date** and any expiration dates
4. Track which phases the permit covers

Permit Types

• **Building Permit** — The primary permit for new construction
• **Electrical Permit** — Required for electrical work
• **Plumbing Permit** — Required for plumbing installations
• **Mechanical Permit** — Required for HVAC systems
• **Grading Permit** — Required for significant site work

> TIP: Apply for all permits before construction begins. Processing times vary from days to weeks depending on your jurisdiction. Delays in permitting are the #1 cause of construction schedule delays.
