GETTING STARTED:

Permits.
One of Sun-In Builder's basic services includes obtaining the proper permits on behalf of our customers. Our established relationships with local townships often speed the permit approval process along for our customers versus obtaining your own local permits which can often delay the start of construction. 
Permit Application Process:
  1. Sun-In Builders asks the right questions and gets the details needed for the permit application process.
  2. With our years of experience we are well versed in all local township regulations and requirements for a speedy review process.
  3. Permit application is filled out and submitted by a Sun-In Builders’ staff member.
  4. The permit process is a two part process consisting of a building permit and zoning permit.
  5. The average time for a township permit review and approval is up to 3 weeks.
  6. After Sun-In Builders receives the approved permit the building process can begin.
  7. Our average building time is 1 to 3 days of construction for deck completion.
Exceed Building Codes. 
Some townships are more lenient on building codes than others, this can lead to approval of unsafe structures and more importantly lead to tragedy. At Sun-In Builders we always go the extra mile of seeking out and exceeding the latest updates to local building codes to make sure that you enjoy your structure safely for years and years.

Inspection Process – is a 3 part process consisting of:
  • Footing Inspection – This inspection checks the quality of a typical 12” wide x 36” deep poured concrete footer.
  • Rough Framing Inspection – This inspection consists of checking for proper span and width of joists and beams.
  • Final Inspection – This inspection consists studying the deck to be sure it is built to local code and involves the following:
    • Checking the bolts to be sure they are the proper size.
    • Checking the railing system and decking to be sure it is built to safety standards.
