The Construction Checklist includes the most effective steps associated with successful remodeling and construction projects. Some may not apply to your project, for example: decks within 18" of ground level may not require a building permit, while building along a "wetland" or a shoreline will require a specific permit; a project in a condominium may require approval of the homeowners' association, and so may a project in a subdivision which has covenants."
