plan review
Our plan checkers thoroughly check the customer’s building plans to ensure compliance and safety. Walk-ins are welcomed. Appointments are preferred to insure that the plan checker can spend the appropriate time reviewing your project.
When submitting building or residential plans, please ensure that the plans are drawn to scale, are complete and that you have all the documentation necessary. Our plan checker will check and approve your house or building plans on a first come first serve basis. Walk-ins are welcomed to come in and talk with the plan checker after 4:00 PM and review their project.
