I’m getting a “subscription required” error message for this. Is a sub required for the use of this GPT? Thanks

Looks like it's just 2023 NEC missing since it's not ICC. Here's a link to the amendments: https://dca.georgia.gov/document/document/nec-2026-amendment-packet-2023-edition/download Unfortunately, I don't have a link to an NEC 2023 with GA amendments PDF, just...

Thank you! Is it possible to include the Amendments here: https://dca.georgia.gov/community-assistance/construction-codes/current-state-minimum-codes-construction I noticed when I asked an electrical question ("does a kitchen island need a receptacle"), the answer was from IRC, not NEC 2023...

I saw there is a 2024 code search page (https://www.permittingtalk.com/threads/2024-i-codes.5698/), and I found a search page for the state I'm from, MI (https://www.permittingtalk.com/threads/michigan-building-codes.5592/). Does anyone know if there are plans for a GA search page?

I've completed construction projects in every major city in the Western United States. I submitted a building remodel permit 9 months ago in Denver, and they have put every roadblock imaginable in front of us. I was not anticipating this city to be worse than LA, San Fran, or Seattle. Does...

I would do some research online; many jurisdictions have a section "work without permits" that will give you the guidelines on how to proceed. Currently you are at risk with your insurance company if any events occur and you have non permitted work. Claims have been disallowed numerous times...

Hello Eric, Thank you for responding and bringing up the idea for tax rebates and credits -- I did not think of that. I will definitely take a look into this!

I am just curious what is the communities opinion on all-electric ADUs? I am planning to convert my garage into an all-electric ADU and was wondering if there is any insight the community can provide as to the pros and cons of owning an all-electric ADU.

It may not always be a bad thing that they asked for this meeting, sometimes it may just be for clarification or maybe they just really want to know some more information about what exactly it is that you want to do. In my jurisdiction, we call them a PDM (Pre-Development Meeting) just so that...
