I would like to know what does the contractor need in order for him or her to add a second floor to a house (e.glicense, permits, materials.etc )? please include the prices (also i am in Michigan).
At a high level: permits plans, full set of engineering drawings material, wood, concrete, nails, shingles, etcequipment, such as tools, lifts, cranes access to the site people with the proper skills No further detail is possible without much more detail, such as full engineering drawingsAnd even then, costs depend on locationAnd this all depends on how well the existing house is constructedIt may be required to tear it all down, for example, if it cannot support the weight.
