Cob building

[Wao nahele kane]

Applying Permits to home owners building their own home exceeds the State and County regulatory powers. If it were only applied to contractors or those engaged in the "business of" that would be a different issue. As it stands in practice now when applied to the private home owner builder, it violates the 9th amendment, the right to provide ones self and family shelter and other such basic necessities. In factuality, it's nothing short of a human rights violation.
Back in the old days (1950's-70's) when building codes were first adopted they focused on rudimentary issues of structural safety and crossed the thin blue line in effort to encourage safer building practices. As time progressed that effort was endlessly perfected to the point of over bearing unnecessary safeties all forced through several association based building boards composed of corporate owned manufacturing representatives and their pet products. It's beyond acceptable enforcement and become a damn burden on the industry. It's also one of the leading reasons for the recent economic building collapse of the 2000's rising the cost of construction through the window while promoting the need for ridiculously mammoth home loans. While everyone shakes their fists at the predatory lenders, everyone fails to see the demon seed that created the issue to begin with.
