I work for a mechanical contractor, we always have to pull our own permits and submit stamped and sealed drawings. The mechanical is not included in the building permit, at least not on the west side of the state (Michigan) where we primarily do our work. Whomever did your mechanical should have pulled a permit and your GC should have known that it was required and not under the building permit.See, I jinxed myself last night. Health inspector called and wanted to make sure the mechanical inspector approved the smoker installation. Mechanical inspector called and said he doesn't have a mechanical permit on file. Township called and confirmed they don't have one either. Talked to the contractor and he said it should be covered under the building permit. The township disagrees.
So now everyone is playing the blame game and trying to figure out WTF is going on.
It never fails.

Good luck! I'm sure it will all work out when they don't get paid. :thumb:
But the electrician is there, so that is a bonus with the way things have been going right?
Word of warning here, and I am glad you got two people on board just in time for opening. If you can, find out why the other place closed. If it was just time for the owners to shut down, that is fine. But, places that go out of business, often suffer from poor work and cooking habits. You want to make sure you are there, and see if there are any issues. A lot of restuarants shut down because the owner just doesn't pay enough attention to the details.
Now, send me some beef ribs
yes, and no.After reading this whole thread and considering things that I've seen, I have to wonder is business for contractors so good that they can blow off customers like they seemingly do?
Awesome!!!
that place will be packed with eager customers for sure :thumb:
I sure hope the Brethren get the notice on the soft opening so we can possibly meet you and enjoy the works of your labor.
