What information does Alizoti Inc. need to quote my project?

If you have a set of plans or the list of scope, please email. I always visit the potential project site to review the site conditions and discuss the details with the owner before providing a proposal. If you are planning on a bathroom or kitchen remodel, and would like a detailed quote, please have the tile, appliance and plumbing fixture selections ready.

Do I need a construction permit for my project?

Every project is unique, and every jurisdiction is different, but here’s the rule of thumb for residential construction projects. Check with your design team or local building department for details.

Interior Remodels:

• Modifying electrical, plumbing and mechanical lines - trade permits are required.

• Adding and removing walls - building permit is required.

• Modifying weight bearing walls building permit is required + Structural engineer’s design and calculations are required (some exceptions may apply).

Exterior Improvements:

• New fence or deck above a certain height may require planning review as well as building permit. Consult with your design team or local jurisdiction.

• If you live in a historic district or building, you may run into layers of requirements. Consult with your design team or local jurisdiction.
