Does underpinning require a permit and engineered drawings in NJ?

Yes. Underpinning is regulated by the NJ UCC structural subcode and requires a building permit, sealed engineering drawings from a NJ-licensed PE, and inspections at excavation, reinforcing, and concrete phases.

Scaldino handles the full permitting chain, including engineer selection, drawing submission to the municipal construction department, and coordination of subcode inspections. This is not a DIY service category.
