...Organizing your project permits.

If you open your project permit’s folder, does it look like this?



Well if you or your team needs a permit number they will be looking around for 15 minutes to find what they need. After going through that 15 minute search a few times I learned to organize my permits.

I created an excel spreadsheet with all the permit information on one sheet:

1. The General Contractors master permit numbers
2. All my permit numbers
3. The individual inspection codes.

Now when I open my project permit folder I can get the information I need immediately.

This is what my permit folder looks like now:



Remember to give a copy of this to your supers!

I'd like to hear from you. What do you think about this method? What method do you use. I'm always open to improving my organization.
