Construction Resumes on House

By 250 News

Crews are back at work at a North Nechako Home more than a month after City Hall forced an end to  the work over building permit issues

Construction has resumed on a North Nechako Road home now that a building permit has been issued.

The permit was officially  granted Monday afternoon after the  Home Warranty Office produced the necessary paperwork confirming the builder  was covered by the Home Warranty program.  The City is not allowed to  issue a permit until it has that paperwork from the Home Warranty Office.

Construction on the home was stalled over the issuing of a building permit.  A permit had been granted last August, but it was only to put in the foundation.  

Construction then continued, says the contractor,  so that  with the onset of cold weather, the new concrete foundation wouldn't be compromised by the cold.
The contractor, Peter Crolow  of Norcan Construction, was under the impression the  full permit had been issued, but, as he told Council  back on February 20th he should have  looked after things personally, "Its like the Chinese proverb, if two men each agree to feed a horse, the horse will die."
