Permit-ready Shop Drawings

A permit set is a set of shop drawings customized to comply with minimum standards of local ordinances and adopted codes of a local AHJ2 in order to obtain an installation permit. Permit sets may require a signature and stamp by a Professional Engineer or a NICET certified technician in addition to the installer's license. Permit sets are submitted to the AHJ who reviews the drawings and has the authority to approve or reject. In most locations, permit sets are required for fire alarm and when electrified locking hardware is being installed.
