OUR WORK FROM CLIENTS’ VIEW
FAQs
As each project is distinct and individual, you are not allowed to use permission drawings from previous projects for a new one. You need to apply for a building permit before you can begin the construction process. Building codes can change from time to time and your previous project may not comply with them. That is why drawings from a previous project may not comply with the new changes in design.
To avoid any legal issues, it is highly recommended to use new drawings that reflect the client’s needs and regulations of the new project.
