    Construction Plan Review

    ​Depending on the scope of work, licensed professionals may be required to prepare building plans. Customers are advised to review the criteria for services of design professionals and review the Commercial Building Permit Submittal Checklist.

    To discuss the details of your project, you can call 602-262-7811 and ask to speak to a commercial staff member.

    Plan Review Process

    • The customer submits the required plans and the Construction Permit/Plan Review Application. If the submittal is approved, plan review fees are collected. If site plan review is necessary, preliminary site plan approval must be completed before building plans may be logged in.
    • Staff reviews the plan for compliance with the approved preliminary site plan, project conditions of approval, the required building plan checklist and all applicable codes and ordinances. The site planner reviews the site plan for final approval. If corrections are required, staff will contact the customer to make corrections and re-submit them for another review. Once approved, staff will create the necessary permit(s) and contact the customer. Note: If a third review is required, additional fees must be paid.
    • The customer pays the appropriate permit fees and is issued the building permit(s) and approved plans.
