Building Plan Review
|
Our building plans examiners have in excess of ten years experience in plan review,
with experience of over 20 years in the construction industry. They continue to
grow professionally by attending seminars, conferences, completing college courses,
and gaining additional certifications.
Consultation and plan review are our key tasks in working with the community. We
welcome calls or e-mail requesting clarification or guidance on construction related
issues.
Highlights:
- Electronic Plan Review — we are in the process of developing procedures to make this
available to the construction community
- Eastside Fire & Rescue International Fire Code review

Consultations:
We are always happy to meet with homeowners and designers for brief reviews of projects
and specific construction issues. We will make every attempt to meet with those
who walk-in to City Hall. However, due to various circumstances, there are times
when we may not be available to come to the counter. Due to this we suggest that
you call the Permit Center to arrange an appointment, so that we may accommodate
your needs efficiently. This will insure that you do not have to wait for the assistance
you request.
Pre-Application Conferences:
Pre-Application conferences are typically necessary for new construction and additions
in sensitive areas: shorelines, steep slopes, wetlands etc., and may be necessary
for complex remodels. When the structure is not yet designed, we will provide a
list of typical items to include in the submittal documents. If design/structural
plans are provided, we will do a preliminary review and provide a list, if necessary,
of any missing items. These meeting are to assist the homeowner and designer in
successfully submitting permit application documents at the initial submittal appointment.
Pre-Application meetings are scheduled by Darci Donovan, Customer Service / Permit
Center Manager (425-295-0500).
Submittal Appointments:
The submittal appointment may be our first exposure to your project. This gives us an
opportunity to clarify any items and to do a preliminary review of your project.
It also gives you, the applicant, opportunities to ask questions and to understand
our process of plan review. There are numerous, small projects, that are able to
be reviewed over-the-counter. Please follow this link for additional information
on our Over-the-Counter Permit process.
