Can you tell me the steps in getting a residential building permit?

Sure, here’s a summary:

-construct a site plan for the building, and include all parking, water, power, communications, etc
-apply for an occupancy permit (if it’s a house)
-submit a building permit application and the site plan
-submit a materials inventory, and check off materials on the list on the site plan (such as drywall, toilets, etc)
-apply for a building permit
-verify that all permits are in place

Can I explain a few details in more depth?
