Hi,  Does anyone here have any experience with obtaining a building permit 
in Dade County, Florida?  I have been told some horror stories by 
subcontractors down there.

The job is only to construct two handicap accessible restrooms in an older 
retail store where three small restrooms recently existed.  The owners prematurely 
demolished the three restrooms and now are going next door to use a 
restroom.

I was handed some simple hand-drawn plans that had been bounced with a 
comment list.  I redrew the plans both in CAD and complying with FBC handicap 
locations, dimensions, etc. and now it has bounced with another list of 
"comments".  Some seem unreasonable based on 30 years experience in this area.

Locally, on a job this small the MEP subs can do hand sketches of risers or 
diagrams with the plans only locating the fixtures.  I'm being told now that 
we must hire a mechanical and electrical engineer.

Any comments or suggestions will be appreciated.
