My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Permits?????

20 years ago

I have an old existing garage/shed that I would like to tear down and rebuild.

Is it usually necessary to get a permit for something like this?
