How Do I Get My Plans Checked (Reviewed)?

Depending on the size, complexity, and type of project, the Department offers plan review on walk-in basis (Counter Plan Check), by appointment (Appointment Plan Check), or regular plan check.

Counter plan check is typically for smaller projects that can be reviewed within 45 minutes. Appointment Plan Check (APC) is available for slightly more complex projects that can be reviewed within 1½ hours. Larger projects and plans requiring more time consuming review are submitted for regular plan check.

The Department has separate structural, grading, electrical, and mechanical (plumbing, HVAC, fire sprinkler, elevator) plan check sections that handle the respective type of plans. It is important to remember that plans need to be submitted to the appropriate section separately.

More details and examples of the various types of plan check are provided below for each discipline.
