The Permit ProblemWith more than 20 years in the construction industry, Joe has seen it all and discovered where the problems exist. Building department officials often misconstrue their own rules and implement their own decisions instead of the applicable codes. Joe has learned to work through these permit problems and uses his experience to help many firms solve their own permit nightmares.Joe has a passion for helping others and is an advocate for building owners, architects, and builders to ensure they are being treated fairly by the government entities that review and approve their work.
