Review
Code and Compliance Review
Pre-submission review to catch compliance issues before plan check.
Overview
A code and compliance review examines your drawing package against the applicable building code, zoning ordinance, and accessibility requirements before you submit for permit. Issues identified at this stage cost nothing to correct. Issues identified by a plan checker cost time, money, and schedule.
Why It Matters
A pre-submission code review is the most cost-effective risk management available in the permit process. One correction cycle typically costs more in schedule delays and rework fees than the review itself. CADTRI's compliance review gives you a documented compliance position before you submit.
