Plans will be reviewed in an electronic format and customers are requested to submit their drawings in this medium.

Code Enforcement will continue to allow customers to choose paper, but electronic interaction is more efficient and less costly to the department (and more environmentally friendly).

Code officials are encouraging those who have not made the switch to electronic submittal and review to get familiar with the process to avoid the extra fees. Customers who choose to use paper when an electronic medium is available will be charged fees to their permit/project to offset costs.

In the past, drawings were due the day prior to the review by noon. In the new system, drawings will be due:

For electronic submittal (upload to EPM) 2 days prior to the review date.For paper submittal (conversion to electronic and then upload) 5 days prior to the review date.

The change for electronic submittal is so the packages can be checked for formatting and completeness.

The change for paper submittal is so individuals will have time to convert the paper drawings to an electronic medium.

Sheet Index

When uploading the sheet index for interactive review or subsequent reviews, please be sure to modify the original sheet index file and upload it. It should include all pages in the drawing at every submittal.

This site is designed to function with Internet Explorer 8 or higher and with Adobe Reader 8 or higher. For best results, please avoid using other browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, etc and other PDF software.

Drawing Package

• Interactive Review
  

  When uploading drawing files for interactive review, please be sure to upload the entire file in which the affected sheet resides. For example, if the E.1 sheet needs to be modified to address the plans examiner's comment, and it is in the Electrical file, please modify the sheet and when uploading the document, be sure to upload the entire file with all the sheets, not just the modified sheet.

• Subsequent Reviews
  

  When uploading drawing files for subsequent cycle review (cycle 2, cycle 3, etc.), please be sure to upload all of the drawings files, not just the modified sheet(s). The modified sheet(s) will reside within the files that are uploaded. This is a significant change from our former process where you only submitted the revised sheets.

Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement requires all OnSchedule Plan Review projects to pay the estimated permit fee based on the estimated construction cost provided on the OnSchedule application prior to submitting the project for plan review.

When the plan review package is complete, the contractor will pick up the following:

• Copy of the issued permit
• Placard Board
• Stamped approved sheet index
• CD of approved drawings

The contractor will need to have the placard posted on the job site. The contractor will also print a copy of the approved drawings and have that set along with the stamped approved sheet index on the job site and available for the inspector.

When submitting the Architect and Engineer License sealholder information on the OnSchedule Application, it is imperative that you enter the name and license number as it appears on the individuals seal. This information is vital to the project, as it impacts the AE Pass Rate Incentive program and becomes part of the official record of the project. As we discover incorrect information, it will delay the project through the plan review process and may adversely affect the AE Pass Rate scores. If changes are required to the OnSchedule application to align the sealholder listed on the application with the sealholder on the drawings, a charge of $31.60 will be applied to the project.
