        "text": "Permit requirements for structural framing depend on your local building department in jurisdictions like Denver or Centennial. In general, cutting, altering, or rebuilding load-bearing walls requires a residential building permit and structural plan review to comply with local building codes. Simple, non-bearing partition walls added in a finished basement sometimes have streamlined requirements, but altering primary structural members always triggers formal review. A hands-on general contractor coordinates necessary municipal filings and on-site framing inspections before enclosing the wall with drywall.",
