Project Meeting and Dedicated Examiner for Multiphase Project

Do you have a complex, multi-phase construction project coming up? You may be able to have one designated plans examiner assigned to your project to conduct all necessary plan reviews. The project must:
- Involve multiple permit applications of the same eligible type
- Encompass at least 5,000 sq. ft. of floor area
Projects that may be eligible include residential developments and large commercial buildings that will be fit out for tenants over time.

Request and attend a project scoping meeting to find out whether you can get a designated plans examiner and work through potential design issues before you submit your permit applications.

For other questions, general information and complaints please call 3-1-1 (215-686-8686) or submit an inquiry online: Submit 311 Inquiry
