Did you know? Tenant finish projects can start construction while building plans are under review.
CPD allows commercial tenant finish projects to expedite construction and start interior demolition and preliminary (non-structural) framing, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and fire suppression and alarm work before building plans receive final approval. This is a time saver for developers wanting to take advantage of the time building plans are under review.
In order to pull a preparatory demolition ("prep demo") and non-structural framing permit or other trade-specific permits during plan review, projects must be classified as IBC Group B or M occupancies (or some S1 and S2 occupancies), must have an affidavit signed by the architect or engineer stating that the plans submitted for review are 100% complete, and must have received an SUDP (wastewater) permit if it is needed. Construction can only be completed up to the point of rough inspection.
