Even with local project management help we are having trouble nailing down what the cost is to take out additional plumbing fixtures permits prior to final inspection. Does anyone have experience with this? We do have the building permit amendments in place that have approved the change from the original plans. The only step remaining is getting the plumbing finaled. Because we added a sink and a drain for the hot water tank, we need additional plumbing permits for these changes. What is the cost and why does it seem to be such a 'big deal' to sort out? Are the costs significant? Mahalo for any advice. We are willing to pay the costs for the additional permits to the County ourselves, but apparently it must come from the plumber who took out the original permits. We are not getting direct answers from this particular trade while all other aspects of the job have run very smoothly, considering the complexity of the project. We are building long-distance and can't just go down to the County offices ourselves and seek answers.
