Help the reviewer find every answer

Each response should lead to the exact explanation or revised information.

  • Separate structural corrections from work owned by other disciplines
  • Identify comments that change more than one sheet or calculation
  • Keep the response letter, calculations, and drawings consistent
  • Give the reviewing agency a clearer record for reevaluation

Frequently asked questions

Can you review plans before I submit them?+

Yes. A pre-submittal review can focus on structural completeness, coordination, code criteria, and likely documentation gaps. It does not replace the building department’s review.

Can you help after plans have been rejected or corrected?+

Yes. Send the entire correction notice and current plan set. We can identify applicable comments, needed revisions, and coordination responsibilities.

Do you respond to comments outside structural engineering?+

We can coordinate with the relevant design professionals, but each discipline must address work requiring its own expertise or professional responsibility.

What is the difference between this service and general building-permit support?+

Plan-check review centers on finding, organizing, and resolving document comments or coordination gaps. Building-permit support is broader and may include creating the engineering package needed for an initial permit application.

What do you need to start?+

Provide the complete current plan set, calculations, agency letter, prior response history, project address, and contact information for the design team.

Will a pre-review mean the plans are approved?+

The reviewing agency controls that decision and may raise project-specific questions. A careful review improves completeness and drawing consistency but cannot promise an outcome.
