• California Building Code
• California Residential Code
• California Electrical Code
• California Plumbing Code

• California Fire Code
• Title 24 Energy Standards
• California Green Building Standards Code
Alternate Material and Methods
TRB recognizes that there are alternate materials and methods of construction that can be used to satisfy and comply with the provisions of the code.

SERVICES DESCRIPTION & APPROACH
Plan Review Process
Please note that our plan review process will be tailored to meet the City’s specific needs. The following process represents an example plan review workflow which may be applied if desired by the City.
Step 1 - Preliminary Discussions:
Prior to beginning our initial plan review project, our Project Manager proposes to conduct a meeting or conference call with the City to discuss local code policies, documentation procedures, plan processing protocols, plan review checklist items, and scheduling.
Step 2 – Initial Review:
Once we receive a complete set of plan documents, we will perform our plan review in the agreed -upon timeframe, checking for compliance to all applicable code standards.
To confirm, plan review turnaround timeframes will align with standard City-established timeframes. In general, project reviews are completed in 5 to 10 working days or less for initial reviews, and 5 working days or less for subsequent review cycles. Specific turnaround times are provided in the “Turnaround Timetable” included on the following page.
All corrections are identified based on compliance with specified codes and regulations and worded so the designer will know what needs attention and how to respond to the issue stated. Generally, corrections are identified in two ways:
• Notes can be made on plans as appropriate and authorized to assist in locating the issue on the plans; • A correction sheet is generated detailing what items need to be addressed before plans can be approved.
Step 3 – Transmittal of Plans and Comment Lists for Plan Review:
At the heart of our approach in delivering our services to you, is the recognition that there must be a coordinated effort to track and coordinate all submittals and requests received. To help assure that submittals are properly
coordinated and tracked, TRB has established an internal plan review coordination process to ensure that each plan received for review is properly handled, processed, and returned on time. Our plan tracking procedures are
computerized to track each submittal through the review process and maintain accurate and comprehensive records for each submittal. Upon completion of our review, any comments generated are consolidated into a correction
letter in the City’s preferred format (e.g. Bluebeam, punch list, or other format) which is remitted to the City for its reference.
Step 4 – Rechecks:
Upon receipt of the resubmittal package from the applicant, once we have verified that the resubmittal package is complete, we perform a recheck in the agreed-upon timeframe. This process is repeated until the project plan documents are ready to be recommended for approval.
Step 5 – Plan Approval:
When all review comments are satisfied, we will forward two sets of all relevant correspondence bearing our company’s “Reviewed for Code Compliance” stamp (including plans, calculations, and specifications), along with a transmittal letter indicating our recommendation for project approval, and the project file to the City for processing.
