Permit Pull is the GC''s act of filing the building permit with the local jurisdiction and obtaining the permit number that authorizes work to begin. Required for structural, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and any work modifying load-bearing or life-safety elements. Roughly 58% of fix-and-flip SOWs across the network show $0 in the permit line — either cosmetic-only work or unpermitted work. Unpermitted work creates downstream appraisal, insurance, and resale-disclosure complications.
