This guy tried the ask for forgiveness route and I hope the gamble doesn’t pay off.[/quote]

The "form" was already approved because it met the building requirements. The problem is that the owner/builder screwed up in some small, but legally significant, ways.

I'm highly skeptical you'd end with something better constructed if they have to go this route. I think it is more likely they'd cut more corners to make up some of the cost involved with demolition and reconstruction.[/quote]

Right. And I imagine the inspectors will be watching carefully. So if cheapness leads to shoddy construction and mistakes, they will have to be fixed. Which typically ends up costing more than doing it right the first time.
