Permitting, Planning, Job Costs
Roughly 5 to 10 percent. It really depends on the architect or engineer you hire. Permit fees aren’t that much provided you have hired a licensed contractor and he has all of the required insurances. Hope this was helpful.
It Greatly depends on the municipality you live in. Permit costs can range from as little as $75.00 to upwards of 3-5 % of the job. It all depends on where you live and what you are building.
Every municipality is different. Some charge permit fees as a percentage of the job cost usually up to 5%…others charge per unit, sf of work etc. It also depends how many different departments you may have to submit to. It is wise to call the building department in the municipality you will be working in and tell them your scope and they can give you a good idea of the process and cost.
