Sasha is a design and drafter primarily with residential properties and an investor. On a regular basis, she works with investors, homeowners, contractors, permitting offices, engineers, and many more. She’s been doing this for over 8 years now.

KEY QUOTE:

[12:02] If you are looking to have an addition to the property, you need to know the zoning and your setbacks. That’s usually the first step I go to, what are my setbacks, and can my addition fit within those setbacks.

[31:38] I always like to review the house first before we go that route because I want to see if there’s anything that might be unpermitted work. If you are inviting an inspector in and if they do see unpermitted work, they will call you on it. I always recommend for any inspections, be there or have somebody there.
