Our customers have reported that the construction industry has been affected by supply and delivery issues affecting trusses and truss engineering documentation. In order to assist with project continuity, and avoid further delays in the permitting process, the Division of Building Safety has made modifications to our permitting management system to allow for construction to commence until the point where these documents would be required in order to conduct inspection(s). At that time, truss engineering documentation will be required.
During the Plans and Documents Upload process portion of the initial permit application process, you will now be asked if you would like to defer the submittal of the Truss Engineering documents.
If you would like to defer the submittal of Truss Engineering documentation, a Truss Engineering hold will automatically be placed on your permit and you will not be able to schedule a 190 Framing inspection until the Truss Engineering is submitted and approved.
It is our hope that this option will be helpful to the construction industry during this period of challenges within the supply chain.
