How are changes to approved plans handled by the Department during construction?
Generally speaking, any changes to Department-approved plans shall be approved by the plan check engineer who reviewed and issued the permit. Sometimes, the changes can be handled over the counter on the same day it is brought in; other times, the changes may need to be resubmitted for further review with an additional plan check fee paid to the city. In either case, it is always a good idea to first call the plan check engineer who reviewed your plans and ask for his/her help.
