What this form is
Hudson requires the construction control materials before issuing building permits for controlled construction, unless the required information is already on the drawings. The packet includes project and professional details, inspection and testing programs, progress checklists, contractor certifications, and completion documents; the instructions also describe reports required during construction and at occupancy. Separate Tier Two materials address approval to install fire protection systems.
Who needs it
Building permit applicants and the project’s registered design professionals and contractors use the applicable sections to document construction control and submit required information to Hudson’s Inspector of Buildings.
Why it needs a notary
The contractor certification has a “Notarized by” line; the contractor signs the completion certification, and a commissioned online notary completes the notarization line.
