Seems like ground breaking is so close yet so far. We've learned in the past week that our local building department HATES the look our house. We were on the verge of being declined a building permit. Luckily our contractor was able to convince them otherwise and now the only thing standing in our way is a stamp from the engineer that originally stamped our plans.
Apparently, there was an oversight by the project manager at Rocio Romero. I had specifically passed along the local building code requirements to the project manager before we started this whole project. However this little bit of detail was not passed to the engineer. It has do to with the seismic requirement of the plans. We've just chosen the easy way out and asked the engineer to redo the calculations and get 1 peice of paper stamped for the local building department.
Whatever it is, we're pretty sure that Rocio Romero is going to try to bill us for the recalculation fees which then we will have to argue about.
Just remember, even though you've hired "professionals" to do the job, it doesn't mean that they are looking at all the details. One thing we learned is to be as paranoid as possible. The bottom line is that we have to pay more and more delays...
