Drafting brings in the various materials and skills needed to build and complete a structure. Without drafting, and the team of professionals required, it would be very difficult to design and build an efficient, safe structure.
Drafting for building rules ensures that Maui’s local codes, rules, and regulations are expertly incorporated for a simplified structure and well-run project.
What Are Building Codes Or Rules?
Building codes are a set of regulations that establish the minimum requirements for the design, construction, and maintenance of buildings. They are designed to protect the health, safety, and welfare of people who occupy buildings. You can review the County of Maui’s building codes online as well as those from the State of Hawaii. Permits are required for nearly every type of building activity in the state and county.
These codes establish minimum requirements for a completed structure, including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and other systems. They are to ensure that the building is safe for its eventual occupants and has a specific tolerance for weather conditions. Uniformity in permits also ensures that construction quality is consistent and that codes are easier to enforce.
Drafting For Permit Approval
Working with a professional architectural drafter means that your plans will be drafted for building rules to seek approval for various permits.
Architectural drafters understand building codes and how to design within them. They engage in drafting for building rules and drafting for permit approval, using tables, calculators, technical manuals, CAD, and other software systems to draft and prepare drawings, revise them, and make modifications efficiently and as needed.
To have a permit approved, you must submit plans to the County of Maui, and wait. Once the design is completed and meets building codes and rules, the next step is to begin applying for various required permits to move to the construction stage. Nothing can begin without the necessary permits.
The drafter must begin drafting for permit approval. If the design does not meet local Maui building rules, the permit will be denied. If that happens, you will be required to go back to the drawing board and start over. Even though the drafter is probably using Computer-Assisted Drafting (CAD), and everything is digital, any setback will further delay the building process. Therefore, it’s important to draft and design the final plans within compliance before submitting them along with a permit application.
