Will commercial work require a plan review?
Plan reviews for commercial structures will be done in two phases. The focus team will be establishing criteria that must be addressed by a licensed design professional at the time of building permit application and verified during the building plans review process. The focus team will also be determining any additional information that will need to be supplied by the master HVACR contractor at the time of permit application. A finalized process for obtaining a plans review at the time of the mechanical permit application will also be developed. The process will be streamlined as much as possible to allow for plan reviews to be performed at the time of permit application.
