Why Permits Matter More Than Ever
More cities and counties are enforcing strict fire and building codes on warehouse racking. What used to be overlooked is now under the microscope especially in California and other high-density areas. Failing to secure the proper permits can lead to:
- Red-tagged operations
- Delays in occupancy or business licensing
- Fines and penalties
- Insurance issues or liability exposure
Getting your permit right the first time isn’t just about compliance it protects your business and keeps operations running smoothly. Cutting corners can delay your project or worse, shut it down.
Common Mistakes We Help You Avoid
Many warehouses fail permit inspections because of overlooked details during planning, layout design, and proper installation. Some of the most common red flags include:
- Insufficient flue space or incorrect beam sizing
- Incomplete or outdated drawings
- Missing high pile storage reports
- Incompatible sprinkler clearance
- Poor egress planning
We anticipate these issues before submission, not after an inspector shows up. That’s why we review every detail before it ever reaches the city’s desk.
