How Plan Review Comments Work
When you submit construction documents to a building department, plan reviewers from multiple disciplines examine your plans for code compliance. Each reviewer may issue comments that require responses before permit approval.
Common Reviewing Departments
- Building & Safety - Structural, accessibility, energy code
- Fire Department - Fire/life safety, sprinklers, access
- Planning - Zoning, setbacks, FAR, parking
- Public Works - Grading, drainage, utilities
- Health Department - Food facilities, pools, septic
Typical Comment Counts by Project Type
- Single Family Residence - 15-40 comments
- Small Commercial TI - 20-50 comments
- Multifamily (5-50 units) - 50-150 comments
- Large Commercial - 100-300+ comments
