I had the same thought as you but ReelJustice (a member here) pointed out that the permit issued was for the demolition part only.
I am beginning to think that the day that balloon went up, no engineering plans had actually been drawn up for the replacement building. Perhaps it is a stretch, but I think it is possible that while the building was coming down, the engineering was being created. This only assumes my assumptions on other things is correct.

Yes, from most of the notices I have looked at that is the case, but this one clearly spells out both demo and construction, and they wouldn't have bothered putting a 2014 expiration date if it was just for demolition.
Demolition and Building are two separate things under Orlando's permit structure.
For example, PCL has been handiling all things Amity from Demolition to grading to construction. There have been demolition, project, plumbing, electric, engineering, and building permits.
I have to agree with Teebin that it's very possible documents weren't ready. They probably had demolition plans on standby for a while for SS44, so those were ready to go. You're also starting to see how juggling multiple projects as a small firm can be problematic. On top of SS44, there are revisions that still need to be submitted for Potter things. I hope/expect to see a SS44 permit show up this week.

And we'll see if they have any influence on the Orlando permit inspectors. They've been taking their sweet time on Potter.
Universal has seemed to take on the "Make Bigger Announcements at Once" approach which I'm perfectly fine with. Despicable Me was paired with Spiderman, Parade was announced with Night show, all of Harry Potter was lumped together (which it kinda had to be). I think the approach of one big announcement and then going into more depth in mini announcements is nothing short of a good call, it especially pleases the share holders and waiting to make announcements after projects have started is even better. Makes potential situations like Avatar not happen.
Thanks, bob! Great view there.
Agreed. I like the way they've been handling things.
Here's the notice of commencement:
And here's the permit:
Nope. They seem to be a hotel builder.
EDIT: Nevermind, this is what I get for posting without reading. They're a general contractor. So they'd be overseeing whatever is going on.

I'll leave that to Teebin.
Usually the GC uses Subs he is familiar with and has worked with in the past. That said, UC can require that certain Subs be used. This would be specified in the project contract.
