|---|---|
| What is plan review in the permit process | The examination of construction drawings, specifications, and supporting documents to verify compliance with applicable codes and standards. |
| What is the difference between design review and permit plan review | Design review is the review by architects/engineers for performance, aesthetics, etc.; permit plan review is the technical compliance check by the building department. |
| What documents are typically required for submission during plan review | Architectural drawings, structural drawings, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, site plan, calculations, specifications, geotechnical reports, and code references. |
| What is meant by completeness check (or application review) | Verifying that the application package contains all required forms, signatures, fees, and documentation before substantive review begins. |
| What role does a permit technician play during plan review | They ensure submissions are complete, track review stages, communicate with the applicant, route documents to appropriate reviewers, and monitor corrections. |
| What is a review comment / correction notice | Written feedback from plan reviewers identifying nonconformities, missing information, or required revisions which the applicant must address. |
| After corrections are made, what is resubmittal review | The process of reviewing revised drawings/documents to ensure that all previous comments have been addressed and corrections made. |
| What is approval stamp / signature | The official marking by the building official or reviewer indicating the plans are accepted and a permit may be issued. |
| What is permit issuance | The formal act of granting permission to start construction under certain conditions after all reviews and requirements are satisfied. |
| What is a revision to permit / revised plans | Changes to the approved plans or scope during construction, which must be submitted, reviewed, and approved before implementation. |
| What is engineering judgment and when might it be applied | The professional discretion to interpret or apply code requirements when exact matches don’t exist, often used during plan review for complex issues. |
| What is a waiver or alternate method request in plan review | A request by the applicant to use a design, method, or material that differs from the code but provides equivalent performance; must be approved by the jurisdiction. |
| What is phased permit / phased plan review | Allowing parts of the project (e.g. site work, foundation) to be permitted while other parts are still under review, to accelerate construction. |
| What is record keeping / tracking in the plan review stage | Maintaining logs, status updates, reviewer responses, resubmittal dates, and document versions to ensure accountability and clarity. |
| Why is understanding plan review and permit processing critical for a permit technician | Because much of their role involves facilitating, coordinating, communicating, and tracking the flow of documents between applicants and reviewers to ensure timely, code-compliant permitting. |
