I get a lot of people contacting me for a room addition or some other type of large project. The first thing I ask them is “Do you have plans yet?”.

Many people think that a contractor is the first person to contact when they want to do something like this. In reality you should contact an architect. An architect will help you design your addition and draw up the plans. Then you will need to get in contact with a licensed general contractor. The contractor you choose will then take the plans to have them approved and pull all needed permits.

Smaller jobs like patio covers, window replacements, decks, or smaller kitchen and bath remodels do not normally need plans, but in most cases a permit will need to be pulled.
