Why do you need a building permit?

It is simply in compliance with the proper construction of a house or a building following

the requirements set by law or the National Building Code. Of course you want to
make sure all the proper technical, mechanical, electrical, and structural plans for the
construction of the building are met.
In addition, if you build a house or a building without a permit from your municipality,
construction will be stopped until a permit has been issued or released. Youll receive a
strict notice to apply for a permit.
