And contractors have more regulations to abide by that boil down to increasing cost. On big jobs such as commercial or millionaire mansions these costs spread out. But for the individual homeowner and contractor they have become astronomical. In the county I've done most of my work in the cost of a new home building permit is now about $60,000. That's some expensive paper!
