Obtaining a Permit from Building Department
I have an approved plan. A G.C. who gave me an estimate told me that he does not have an expeditor but that he will give me his license # and the appropriate signed forms and that I can get the permit myself. Is this true? Does it take a long time? Anyone with experience doing this? Thanks

You could, in theory, but it might take you ten times longer than the GC. Standard practice is the GC pulls the permit. I would ask the GC why he isn't doing this himself.

hire your own expediter (like myself). its obvious that the gc doesnt know how to pull it or fill out the appropriate forms correctly or he would have done it without hesitation. he's trying to save $300 by letting you suffer the recurring wrath of "the permit line".
