Plan review services are typically performed off-site at our location, but may be performed on-site at the City as needed when pre-arranged by the Building Official.
Plan Review Process
Our team becomes familiar with the requirements of a public agency before beginning a review and continually monitors trends and legislation in order to advise the City on ordinances and standard practices to consider for adoption. BV has extensive public sector experience,
which assures that public interests are fully protected. We understand that careful consideration of issues and impacts are needed in addition to technical expertise. We have devoted a great deal of time over the years to refining our approach and developing documentation to assist our clients and train our personnel to ensure highly efficient plan review procedures.
BV will work to ensure that submittals are properly coordinated and tracked by following an established internal plan check coordination process in which each plan received for review is entered into our ProTrack database, processed and returned on time to the client.
Our plan tracking procedures are designed to track each submittal throughout the review process and maintain accurate and comprehensive records for each submittal. To accomplish this we:
• Screen and log each application to assure that they are routed to all plan reviewers in a timely manner.
• Submittals are reviewed for compliance with all ordinances. The log serves as a tracking device to assure turnaround times and completeness of the review.
• Plan reviews will be done in accordance with local, state and federal regulations with which local jurisdictions are mandated to enforce as well as all codes and ordinances in effect by adoption at the time of plan review. Preliminary consultations will be provided to the applicant upon request, to assist and guide them in the design and plans preparation process.
• Information shown on each permit application
is verified. Construction valuation is based on information provided by the City of La Quinta and compared to estimates provided by the applicant.
• Provide a thorough architectural and structural review of design drawings and details for compliance with the California Building Code architectural provisions, including provisions for safety glazing, building security and noise insulation performance standards, to name a few. These reviews can also be performed on revisions to plans which have previously been approved for permit issuance.
• Preparation of a review letter report
• Plan review management.
• BV assures that corrections are handled as quickly and as clearly as possible. Our goal is to help the applicant through the plan review process. All corrections are identified based on compliance with specified codes and regulations.

P 949.860.4800 | www.bvna.com

Generally, corrections are identified in two ways. Notes are made on plans during electronic review or on hard copy plans if appropriate, and a correction sheet is generated, detailing what items need to be addressed before plans can be approved. The City shall approve the development of any customized correction sheets. Correction sheets for specific projects shall be forwarded to the City along with a cover memo containing at least the following:
• The date(s) plans were received and reviewed
• The date(s) the applicant was notified of completed plan reviews
• The name and telephone number of the applicant
During the plan review process, BV is prepared to meet with the applicant or architect/engineer, City employees or consultants at any time. Telephone discussions or meetings at project sites are welcomed to assure that any plan review issues are handled efficiently. We propose to meet at the offices of the building and safety division or at a particular project site. Our goal is to issue approved plans as quickly as possible but in full compliance with laws, codes, ordinances and regulations. Upon completion of the plan review, the following information package is prepared and logged as a minimum:
✓Completed plan check documents including sign-offs
✓Transmittal letter documenting any conditions associated with issuance of a permit, if any
✓Marked up plan review documents
✓Two sets of approved building plans
✓Backup documents and reports
✓Documents provided in desired City format
Transmittal of Plans and Correction Lists
BV assumes responsibility for the pickup and return of plans. All plans shall be picked up from the City offices within 24 hours of notification. Should the volume of work be sufficient, we propose to establish regular pick up of plans on a consistent basis. We will also utilize shipping courier, at no additional cost to the City. Upon completion of each plan review, we will forward a copy of the correction list to both the City and the applicant, by email. When corrected plans are resubmitted, the previous procedure will be followed or the applicant may schedule an office visit to go over any corrections in person. When plans are completed they are stamped, signed and forwarded by BV personnel. Our transmittal forms will be customized for the City of La Quinta.
Plan Review Turnaround Times
BV provides plan review activities on a fast-track basis to reduce the impact on project contraction schedules. Turnaround times for each submittal relate to the size and nature of the submittal and impact on the project construction schedule. To reduce turn around times for plan check, the firm uses electronic submittals, phased submittals, conference calling, video-conferencing, and visits by plan check staff to design offices of the engineer or architect.
BV has built long-term partnerships with many agencies and municipalities. The firm understands accuracy, efficiency, and integrity in all aspects of professional services is required. Testimony to BV’s professional excellence is the fact it has a large number of repeat clients and client referrals. Because of the firm’s large pool of accessible resources it is able to assemble experienced personnel in order to assist with project schedule recovery when necessary. BV also accommodates preliminary reviews to facilitate fast tracked or accelerated projects. This aids with timely turnaround and creates good public relations. The firm’s staff makes recommendations for resolutions if requested. The firm also meets with agencies, City staff, and citizens, as needed, to discuss its
findings.
Electronic Plan Review Services
BV will continue to work with the City’s existing system but offers alternatives should the City be interested in learning about more options. Digital plan check uses a software which presents customers with a convenient alternative solution to printing and delivering paper plans to City offices at zero cost. This modern solution has become especially valuable as municipalities seek to continue service delivery to their communities while focusing on health and safety during the COVID-19 crisis.
BV provides an alternative solution to traditional plan checking. With GoPost, BlueBeam, Adobe Acrobat, or other similar software, our plan reviewers can quickly and accurately review plans for compliance with applicable codes. Plans are submitted as PDF files via a secure and confidential FTP site. These plans are then reviewed by our personnel who are able to place comments and redlines directly on the plans, corresponding to areas needing revisions.
Redlined plans with comments are then forwarded to, or placed on the secure FTP site for the designers, engineers, and architects. The City also has access to the FTP site. Plans can then be revised and resubmitted via the same method described. If all items were resolved, hard copy plans are sent to BV for approval stamps and signatures.

Electronic plan submittal and commenting allows for economical movement of plans and quick turnaround times. Plans with comments can be viewed and discussed as needed to resolve issues quickly and efficiently. BV has successfully implemented and utilized digital plan review in over 60 federal, state, and local agencies for multiple years. AI-Assisted plan reviews Bureau Veritas leverages Ichi, an AI-powered platform designed specifically for architects, engineers, building officials, and jurisdictions to accelerate plan review and streamline code compliance throughout the project lifecycle. Ichienhances our technical reviewers’ capabilities by automating time-intensive validation tasks such as verifying sheet indexes, flagging missing detail references, and performing complex code analyses. The platform provides robust, cited code answers and pre-submission design checks that help reduce review comments and shorten permit approval timelines. By centralizing firm knowledge and making senior staff expertise accessible across teams within a secure, ICC-licensed code environment, Ichi enables our reviewers to focus on higher-value technical analysis while the platform handles routine validation work.
Ichi integrates seamlessly with our established workflows and common tools such as Revit, AutoCAD, and Bluebeam, making it easy for our plan reviewers and design teams to leverage AI without operational disruption. The platform supports plan sets, building codes, and jurisdiction-specific requirements, generating web-based reports that include compliance status, issue locations, recommended corrections, and referenced code sections. This technology serves as a powerful augmentation tool that enhances, rather than replaces, the expertise of our professional reviewers. By enabling our technical staff to work more efficiently on routine validation tasks, Ichi allows them to dedicate more time to complex code interpretations, design coordination, and stakeholder collaboration that require professional judgment and experience.
BUILDING INSPECTION
BV inspectors are ICC certified and have extensive experience in the construction trades as well. Fast-track projects may be built into small phases based on incremental design and fabrication steps. In such cases, the firm’s inspection team keeps daily logs to track corrections and plan review changes.
BV’s inspection team also has the capacity to provide on-call building inspection services to cover personnel vacation time, peak work loads, specialized inspection
activities, and any other situations which may arise. These activities may include next-day inspections and same-day response to important or urgent requests. BV’s building inspection services can be adjusted to provide a high level of coordination specifically suited to the design-build concept.
BV will provide the City with ICC certified personnel to provide the following services:
• Read and study project specifications, plans, and drawings to become familiar with project prior to inspection, ensuring structural or architectural changes have been stamped as approved by appropriate authority and recognizing the need for and requiring plan checks for electrical, plumbing, and mechanical code requirements.
• Perform and document inspections on construction projects to determine all aspects of the project such as foundations, building, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems conform to the applicable building codes, zoning ordinances, energy conservation, and disabled access requirements including known local, city, state, and federal requirements.
• Review plans for building construction, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical details prior to making inspection.
• Bring to the attention of the City for approval of certain changes in building, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, and related work consistent with code and ordinance requirements.
• Participate in reviews with fire, health, and other government agency inspectors & owners.
• Maintain a record of non-complying items and follow up to resolution of such items.
• Upon request, the firm will inspect existing buildings for substandard, unsafe conditions.
• Virtual, no-contact field inspections upon request

CARE PROGRAM – A PROVEN, FORMALIZED &
INTEGRATED PLAN REVIEW PROCESS
The plan review process we follow for efficient completion of concurrent task management is shown in the flowchart below and managed through our CARE Program, a formalized and integrated process whereby Coordination, Analytical, Review, and Expert management/quality control functions are consistently implemented on each and every project. We will implement a comprehensive program based on best practices to validate that each and every review is thorough, accurate, consistent, and timely. This system’s success is based on thousands of hours of practical, real-world experience by our dedicated personnel and their unique ability to interact quickly and efficiently with your staff. The specific roles of each of our CARE elements include:
Coordinator: Our clerical personnel will handle various administrative functions, such as logging information (project tracking, time budgeting), managing project controls, maintaining and distributing communications, reviewing agendas and ordinance issues, and fielding calls on project status. The Coordinator is the first line of contact for each project submittal.
Analyst: Our analysts will review submittals, title sheets, and non-design items; maintain files; monitor due dates; monitor contract budget and status tracking reports; and coordinate invoicing. Our analysts also maximize and “right place” personnel resources to meet turnaround
times in a quality manner. When assigning resubmittals to staff, our Analyst ensures consistency by passing the project to the same reviewer that performed the previous reviews. Reassignments are done when unforeseen circumstances dictate.
Reviewer: Our experienced building plan reviewers will routinely review agency standards, ordinances, guidelines, and checklists; create comments letters; coordinate project return with the coordinator; attend review meetings; and communicate questions/solutions to project stakeholders. Because of our depth of resources and project tools (checklists, corrections letters, etc), reassigned projects can be reviewed without missing deadlines or causing unnecessary rechecks.
Expert: BV experts will provide the final quality assurance review of applicable plans, studies, and reports in accordance with all accepted engineering, building codes of different disciplines, Subdivision Map Act, and industry professional practices. They will comply with the applicable regulations; visit the client contact regularly; monitor project progress with the reviewer; disseminate project/agency information to the team; train team members; peer review comments letters; and communicate questions/solutions to stakeholders. Additionally, experts provide quality assurance reviews to each project which minimizes the number of resubmittals.

WESTERN SOLAR PROGRAM
BUILDING & INFRASTRUCTURE
Facilitating lower electrical costs and addressing growing aspirations to transition
to more renewable energy sources have become driving forces increasing the use
of solar power on residential properties. This shift has not only contributed to the
furthering of environmental initiatives but also become an economical way for
homeowners to offset long-term costs.
The BV Solar Program is comprised of highly qualified code reviewers, specializing
in solar plan reviews, working out of a centralized scheduling center. This
consolidated location allows for the efficient management of virtually any
workload while ensuring the jurisdiction's deadlines are met and budgets are
adhered to.
PROCESS
Microsoft Teams
Ideally, collaboration would be organized via a joint Microsoft Teams (Teams) account which would be established specifically
for the jurisdiction. Once created, an invitation would be sent to the appropriate jurisdictional representatives by the BV Solar
Team. The jurisdiction's Permit Technician would then upload the documents for review to an "Incoming" folder on Teams.
Next, the firm's assigned reviewer would download the aforementioned files, complete the review, and then re-upload them
to either an "Outgoing Approved" or "Outgoing with Comments" folder and notify the jurisdiction via email.
Jurisdiction's Software
BV personnel are well-versed in many permitting software platforms utilized by various jurisdictions. Should the jurisdiction
wish to use an already established permitting software, the firm is prepared to accommodate this as the "best practice" with
minimal learning curves or ramp-up time needed. In this scenario, BV would require all the necessary access, licenses, and the
VPN specific to the jurisdiction's software.
TIME & COST
Typical Review
Initial Review 4 Working Days for the First Review
Subsequent Review 2 Working Days
Cost $195 for the First Review | $95 for each Subsequent Review
Typical Expedited Review
Expedited Review Reduced review times are available. Call for more information.
Cost $295 for the First Review | $125 for each Subsequent Review
The intent is to pass the plans the first time provided the solar checklist and all associated documentation is included and is less
than 10kW.
The presented fees are valid through December 31, 2026
