Plan Review QA/ QC Process for all Reviews
Task 1— Project Trackin Set- up
The first step of our process will be to set up the project in our system to enable 4LEAF and the City of Lathrop to track the progress of the review. Our plan tracking procedures are designed to track each submittal throughout the review process and maintain accurate and comprehensive records for each submittal.
Task 2 - Complete Submittal Review
Upon receiving the plans from the City, 4LEAF will triage ( preliminary plan review performed by 4LEAF plan review project lead) the submittal to verify that the submittal received is complete ( i. e., all pertinent plans, calculations, reports, and other related documents) in order that we can begin our review. If the submitted package is incomplete, we will communicate with the City to discuss the documents needed to proceed.
Task 3- Plan Review Assi nment
After the triage process is performed and a complete package is verified, the project will be assigned to a qualified Plans Examiner and a turnaround time will be established. We then log each application into our database the same day the plans are received to assure that they are routed in a timely manner and to allow for daily project tracking.
Task 4- Plan Review
4LEAF will provide the project contact ( Developer, Contractor, Architect, or Engineer) desired by the City of Lathrop with a list of any items needing correction and clarification to comply with applicable building codes, ordinances, and regulations. A correction list will be created based on the missing codes and ordinances.
Task 5- Quality Control
Prior to submitting the plan review correction list to the City, the designated plan review project lead will review the correction list for adherence to applicable codes and ordinances as well as for accuracy and completeness.
After completion of our quality control review a correction list will be e- mailed to a designated staff inember at the City of Lathrop or as directed by the City. The correction list and a 4LEAF transmittal form will include the following information: a description of the work, type of construction, occupancy group, square footage, number of floors, and sprinkler requirements.
Task 6- Plan Review Rechecks
I Plans received for rechecks will be reviewed for confor' nance. Our goal is to work with the designers to resolve any unresolved issues after our second review. If it appears that there are issues that might cause a project to go beyond our second review, we will communicate directly with the designer to resolve any concerns.
Task 7 - Proiect Approval
Once the final plan reviews are completed and ready for approval, 4LEAF will organize the plans and supporting documents per the City of Lathrop processing requirements and return them to the City, along with our letter of completion.
