Plan Review Re-submittal
Process Description
Plans that have completed a plan review cycle and have unresolved issues in one or more trade areas must be resubmitted to the Development Services Customer Service Center to be placed back in the system for re-review. Revised plans are submitted by the client for the next review cycle only after all corrections have been made. The project will be reviewed only by the reviewers that commented with unresolved issues and denied the project in a previous review. Caution should be exercised if the plan changes have impact on trade reviews that have already been approved in a prior review cycle.
See the City of Raleigh Development Services Glossary for any unfamiliar terms.
Are there any prerequisites to this process?
The project must have been previously reviewed and denied by at least one trade.
How do I start the process?
Clients should submit three (3) complete sets of the corrected plans to the Commercial Plans Coordinator or four (4) complete sets, if Wake County has to do a review for food service projects. A response letter (letter of transmittal) should be included with the submittal which addresses each comment made by the reviewers. Responses should explain the corrections and denote where the corrections are located on the plans. A copy of this letter should be attached to each set of plans.
