Probably the most important step in the permit process is the submittal and review of building plans. The purpose of the plans is to provide a detailed written document of the scope of your project. There are at least three very good reasons why you should have building plans prepared for your project.
- First, the plans provide a method for you to determine if the project you are proposing meets your needs and to allow you to determine the cost of materials and other construction costs.
- Second, the Building Department will require plans be submitted as a condition of receiving a building permit for certain types of work.
- Third, if you are having a number of contractors bid on the job, which is recommended, it is best if you provide the plans. That way all of the contractors that bid on your project will be bidding on the same conditions and you will more easily be able to compare bids.
When the City receives your plans, a staff member will review your plans to determine in advance that the proposed work complies with the various building rules. The goal is to uncover potential problem areas while the project is still on paper and save you costly corrections later.
