3 Construction Permits Your Building Project Will Need

1. Building Permit

Building permits are mandatory to begin construction on any building or structure in Hawaii. To obtain a building permit, submit a detailed plan of your project with lot dimensions, utilities, existing structures, and images drawn to scale. Luckily, Blue Hawaii Drafting is experienced in submitting everything required to get the permits your project needs.

2. Electrical & Plumbing Permits

If you want to work on your new home’s electrical or plumbing systems, you’ll need to obtain the proper permits and hire a professional. Hawaii requires all electrical and plumbing work to be completed by a licensed electrician or plumbing contractor. 

3. Civil Engineering Permits

Most counties require specific permits for construction crews to begin grading, street trenching, stockpiling, or grubbing on your property. These permits allow workers to construct a driveway, install drainage and utilities, and prepare the land for construction. Fortunately, Blue Hawaii Drafting has worked alongside numerous contractors over the years, and they can help clients get each permit approved as soon as possible.
