Starting work without confirmed permits
Assumptions cost money. Even small oversights can trigger stop-work orders and penalties.
Missing inspection deadlines
Deadlines are often tied to permit validity. Missing them leads to reapplication costs and lost time.
Using outdated code references
Codes evolve. Keep your references current and document the exact code sections you rely on.
Incomplete job scope documentation
Vague scope leads to incorrect permit classification and scope creep.
No audit trail
Without a clear record, it’s hard to defend decisions. Keep a trail of inputs and results.
