Do I need a permit for structural support work in Philadelphia?

Structural support work in Philadelphia generally requires a Building Permit when it affects load-bearing components or adds, removes, or modifies structural elements such as beams, columns, joists, bearing walls, or foundation supports.

The exact requirements depend on the scope of the project and may include construction drawings, structural information, engineering documentation, inspections, or other supporting materials.

NK Construction & Design reviews the proposed work and coordinates the permitting requirements that apply to the project. Because Philadelphia rules and procedures can change, the NK team will confirm the current requirements during project planning.
