What type of contractor is required to obtain a threshold building permit?

A threshold building permit is specific to the construction of buildings that require special inspections during the structural phases of construction, particularly for buildings that are over a certain height or complexity. This type of permitting ensures that there are qualified individuals overseeing the structural integrity of the building at each critical stage.

The requirement for a threshold building permit typically calls for a Licensed Specialty Structure Contractor, who is experienced and knowledgeable in the specialized construction methods and materials used for buildings designated as threshold structures. These contractors must adhere to specific code requirements and standards that apply to the structural design and construction.

Other contractor classifications, while they have varying scopes and permits they can issue, do not typically include the specialized training or experience focused on the aspects necessitated for threshold construction. Therefore, the Licensed Specialty Structure Contractor is the correct and designated type of contractor needed to obtain a threshold building permit, as their skills directly align with the oversight and execution of projects that exceed standard building regulation requirements.
