MILESTONE 2 – BUILDING DEPARTMENT SUBMISSION
Upon completion of approximately 75% of the Construction Documentation phase, the drawing package, including specifications, engineering drawings and structural calculations, along with permit application fees, should be submitted to the Building Department for Building Permit review. After a period of time (often 4-6 weeks, but ultimately unpredictable), the Building Official will respond to the Architect with either notification of project approval or a request for plan revisions. In the latter case, revised drawings are resubmitted for review.

Occasionally, this process will repeat, but more often, the Building Official will approve the plans and make a building permit available for pickup by the Building Owner or the Contractor.
