Prepare the initial inquiry
- Address, parcel information, ownership, and intended use.
- Plain-language description of new work, alterations, repairs, or use changes.
- Available site, floor, structural, and building-system information.
- Known private restrictions or landlord requirements.
- Questions about design documents, review, trade permits, and inspections.
Track approvals as project work
Assign responsibility for submissions, review comments, fees, revisions, and inspections. Keep a current status list and confirm what must be complete before work starts, before work is concealed, and before the space can be used.
