After permit issuance, the owner approves a structural detail change. What should happen before the revised work is built?
Correct Answer
C) Submit the revised documents for required approval by the building department
Permit documents must match approved work; revised work commonly requires submitted and approved revisions.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Permit documents must match approved work; revised work commonly requires submitted and approved revisions.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: Build the change first and mention it during final payment
Build the change first and mention it during final payment skips the written authority, scope, price, notice, or release control needed for permit revisions.
Option B: Let the lowest subcontractor decide whether the permit needs updating and document the decision only in its proposal
Let the lowest subcontractor decide whether the permit needs updating and document the decision only in its proposal skips the written authority, scope, price, notice, or release control needed for permit revisions.
Option D: Treat the change order as automatic code approval
Treat the change order as automatic code approval skips the written authority, scope, price, notice, or release control needed for permit revisions.
Memory Technique
Permit Revisions square for Changes Permitted: scope, authority, price, paper.
