CO's , Building Permits, and Property Sales
Every so often home buyers are confronted with a dilemma such as finding the right house, but running into problems during the sale ... such as a home constructed before building permits were required or not having a valid Certificate of Occupancy on file at the Town Building Department. Property transfers often involve answering questions asked by banks and insurers covering such items as structural soundness, especially for older buildings; the operational ability of septic systems and evaluation of previous additions done without building permits and other Local, County or State approvals. Shrub Oak Engineering Consultantscan assist by providing a written analysis of the problem area and an evaluation under the seal of a Registered New York State Professional Engineer concerning compliance with applicable codes. In the alternative, we can offer guidance and specific designs for meeting Building Code requirements; designs that can be implemented by the owner to bring the dwelling or other structure up to current building code requirements and gain necessary Town or County approvals.
When do I need an Engineer?
Any building construction in New York State that exceeds $20,000 requires design plans or construction plans signed and sealed by a New York State licensed Professional Engineer or Registered Architect. Towns typically want professional plans for projects that impact life safety, such as decks, taking down interior walls and adding dormers, even if the project does not meet the $20,000 threshold. Shrub Oak Engineering Consultants can provide that expertise on all residential and light commercial construction projects. We can provide design expertise, construction drawings and material specifications to ensure best quality materials are used, and assembled in the right way.. Many homeowners start projects such as additions by contacting Construction Contractors, but a better route would be to discuss your needs, wants and budget with a Design Professional (Professional Engineer or Registered Architect). Plans can then be drawn up that detail what you want and can pay for. With those plans & specifications in hand, you can then have several contractors bid the job and select who you want to go with to do the job. .
