Stop Work Order Solutions by PKAD Architecture and Design
Understanding Stop Work Orders
In an ideal scenario, Homeowners and contractors initiate all construction and renovation projects with the necessary permits and documentation. However, reality often plays out differently. You may have embarked on a home improvement project considering it a simple DIY, or perhaps a contractor assured you that permits weren't required. In some instances, the urgency to complete a project might have led you to take a chance without adhering to the legal requirements.
Unfortunately, these scenarios can lead to the issuance of a Stop Work Order, which can bring your project to an abrupt halt. This order can result in hefty fines, court dates, and an unbearable suspension of all construction activity. In the worst cases, your home might be rendered uninhabitable while the mortgage payments pile up. This is when every minute counts, and professional help is indispensable.
