Require construction value, number of units, and construction category on all building, electrical, mechanical, plumbing permit types 3. The construction categories must be set to the following values exactly, or at least contain these as a subset: -"Single-family dwelling" -"Two-family dwelling" -"Townhouse building" -"Multi-family building" -"Commercial/Industrial/Institutional building" |

You can also change cost 1 and cost 2 to anything.
