We are looking to plan some home renovations in the next year or so which might involve removing some load bearing walls.

Before we try to estimate the cost I figure it would be a good idea to get a copy of the building plans for the home to see what walls can go and which can stay.

I called the CoC Development Building and Licensing and they provided me the Permit #, scope, and applicant name. The name is a company that doesnt appear as if they exist any longer (1987 home)

I then called the CoC Property Research Centre to start a search on my home. I have read that while the CoC will have what I am looking for and can provide it at a very reasonable fee, I might need permission from the home builder before I can obtain a copy.

How does one go about searching old company names to see if they still exist and if so how to contact them?

Has anyone gone through this process before?

I never imagined I would need permission from the home builder to get a copy of the drawings of a home I own (but then again Ford doesnt provide engineered drawings of their F150 to me either).

Thanks
