Plan review is the systematic examination of construction documents— including architectural drawings, structural calculations, MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) plans, and specifications—to ensure they comply with applicable codes and are complete enough to construct the project.
Performed by city/county building departments before issuing construction permits. Required by law. Focuses on code compliance and life safety.
Performed by design firms (architects, engineers) before issuing documents. Catches errors before they reach clients or permit review.
Performed by contractors during bidding/preconstruction to identify risks, ambiguities, and potential change orders before committing to a price.
Independent review by outside consultants. Often required for complex projects or by insurance/lenders. Provides unbiased assessment.
Complete drawing sets, specifications, calculations, and supporting documents are submitted for review.
Documents are checked for completeness and assigned to appropriate reviewers based on discipline.
Each discipline (architectural, structural, MEP, fire/life safety) reviews their scope against codes and standards.
Cross-discipline review to identify conflicts between different systems (e.g., MEP vs structural).
Issues are documented with specific references to drawings, codes, and required corrections.
Design team addresses comments and resubmits. Cycle repeats until approved.
