On-Site Services
In an effort to meet the specific needs of the City, JAS Pacific is also capable of providing on -site plan check services on an agreed rotating calendar when staff is available. We believe this is the most comprehensive and efficient approach to providing building plan review services to the public and Jurisdiction staff. JAS Pacific has qualified and experienced staff that can provide technical assistance to architects and engineers, over -the-counter review of minor plan reviews, meet with necessary applicants to answer questions, discuss and explai n plan review corrections and meet any demands requested by the applicants or as directed by the Jurisdiction. The delivery approach of on -site building plan review services mirrors that of off-site service.
Off-Site Services
JAS Pacific proposes to provide the City with plan review services through our in -house plan review team located at our headquarters. We believe this is the most comprehensive and efficient approach to providing building plan review services to the public and City staff. JAS Pacific has qualified and experienced staff that can provide technical assistance to architects and engineers, discuss and explain plan review corrections and meet any demands requested by the applicants or as directed by the City. This approach is detailed in the “Sequence of Plan Review Activities” flowchart.
Project Assignment
Once a project is received, it is evaluated to determine complexity based on type (residential/commercial/industrial), square footage, number of stories, type of construction, etc. Then, the project is assigned to a plan check engineer and the review begins. The project will remain with the assigned plan check engineer for the duration of the project.
Comprehensive Review (Corrections & Approvals)
A review is conducted by our qualified plan check team, a correction list is prepared identifying the items that need correction and this list is provided to the City in a digital format. If/when a third review is necessary, JAS Pacific plan review team members will reach out to the applicant in order to clarify any potential outstanding. To ensure new plan check corrections are not generated on supplemental reviews , the project will be reviewed by the team member originally assigned to the project. In the event supplemental comments are necessary due to an undisclosed modification in the scope of work, JAS Pacific will notify the City and the applicant immediately.
Plan Review Documents
Once a review is complete and it is determined that the plans are not ready for approval, JAS Pacific will provide a complete Correction List of items requiring correction, clarificatio n or change in order to be approved. The correction list will be prepared in an approved format and provided to the City in a paper and electronic format for paper plans and electronic

format for electronic plans and will be sent directly to the applicant and City representatives.

All of these documents will be available in our cloud-based storage for reference as well.
Digital File of Approved Plans
Upon approval, JAS Pacific will provide the City with a digital file of the plans that have achieved approval status. This will relieve the City of performing this function within their offices and the digital file of the approved plans will be available when the approved plan sets are returned to the Building & Safety Department.

JAS Pacific can provide the City with an Internet-based system in support of plan review services for the purposes of electronic plan submission (E -Submittal). This document workflow solution will allow applicants and City personnel to initiate and complete the plan review process online (including the submission of electronic comments), rather than using a manual, paper-based process which requires printing and shipping. Said services will improve the plan review cycle, reduce costs (i.e. paper use, printing and storage costs, drive time, and gasoline consumption), and support JAS Pacific’s Business Friendly Policy of providing services in a streamlined and seamless fashion and as efficiently as possible. JAS Pacific staff has worked with various programs including, but not limited to, Project Dox, Blue Beam, E -Plan Soft.
File Transfer Portal
JAS Pacific will provide a cloud -based file transfer portal that will allow for the uploading of all electronic files. We use a secure content collaboration, file sharing and sync solution that supports all the document-centric tasks and workflow needs of electronic plan review. All parties on the file box are notified when plans are uploaded, modified or access. Restrictions can easily be placed on the file in order maintain control over up to date documents.
Marked-up / Approved Plans
JAS Pacific will provide the City and applicant with a file of the plans along with a clear and concise correction list. This review and correction list development will take place utilizing Bluebeam which allows for clear identification of corrections and their location on the plans. This process results in a quicker response time from applicants due to the simplicity of access to each area that is in need of correction.
JAS PACIFIC | 15
Real Time Plan Tracking
JAS Pacific utilizes a cloud -based system in order to provide up to the minute “Real Time” tracking of plans currently in our que. This system provides many features related to management of projects, however, the image below details those related to tracking which include the project start date, due date and the amount of time spent on each review. Notifications are sent when the project’s due date approaches, is completed, and approvals are given.
