[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The permit costs you are being quoted seem insane. Are you saying that is just the cost of the permits, or the total cost of the jobs including the permits?[/quote] The cost are for permits only - in addition to the estimates quoted for the work (some are labor only and some are labor plus materials). My understanding from one contractor is they need to find people with the right licenses/certificates to apply for the permits (seems electricity, gas, plumbing and building are separate) and that would cost extra. I think the permits themselves should not cost that much (the fees charged by the government), but applying for permits is extra work (getting documents ready, change things after review, getting inspection etc.). If they do not have the qualified people themselves, they need to pay for those services, even though the actual work might be done by them and not the people pulling the permits.[/quote]
