Foundation tie-in
Project inputs can surface dowel, footing, and waterproofing questions for confirmation by the designer, contractor, and authority.
Framing & lateral
Roof-line, shear-wall, beam-pocket, seismic, and wind inputs can be organized for required professional design and authority review.
Energy & MEP
Title 24 / IECC envelope, HVAC sizing, and electrical load impact are documented for review.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I always need a addition permit?
- Requirements depend on the authority, property, and scope. Permit Junkie can compare your project with available jurisdiction records, but unresolved or stale authority information is labeled for confirmation with the issuing department.
- How long does a addition permit take to approve?
- Approval time varies by authority, project complexity, review workload, and corrections. Permit Junkie shows a processing estimate only when a sourced record is available; confirm current timing with the issuing department.
- What documents do I need for a addition permit?
- Typical packets may include an application, scope of work, site plan, scaled drawings, and contractor information. Vizar builds a project checklist from your answers and available authority records, while visibly marking items that still need confirmation.
