4 Construction Laws to Know Before You Start Your New Build
Although the legal side of building new construction isn’t always fun, it’s always necessary. It’s important to know what is required in legal terms before you can move forward in your project. Here are 4 construction laws you should familiarize yourself with as you plan to build your home or business.
#1- Lot Approval
Before you start, it’s important to check with the authorities to learn of any zoning rules and regulations in the lot you plan to build. Regulations can (sometimes) differ from one street to the next so the first step is gain approval for your build, so you won’t have to halt your project.
#2- Building Permits
Prior to ANY work being done, you must obtain a builder’s permit to ensure all construction of the new build meets the requirements within the jurisdiction.
#3- Building Codes
Know your building codes. By following the International Residential Code (IRC), you will learn about the various set of rules that one must follow when building a new home.
#4- Building Inspections
For the new construction to be approved, there are several inspections that need to take place to ensure all the codes have been met. After your final inspection, you will gain approval that the house is livable and ready to be occupied.
