Step 1: Prepare Your Documents
The first step is to save your documents on your computer (to upload later) using the file upload requirements. Each type of document must be saved as a separate file bearing the name of the type of document. When uploading product approvals, NOA's, etc. the full number from the cover page detailing which approval it is must be included in the label of your uploaded pdf and the cover page cannot be scanned separately from the engineered drawings. PDF portfolios are not compatible with our system. Only upload regular unlocked PDF files. NOTE: All plans are to be uploaded as individual pages and labeled for what plan page it is. For signed and sealed plans, each sheet needs to have the digital signature/seal of the Architect or Engineer. *When uploading corrections for plan review comments be sure to name the new file the same way as the original document to be voided/replaced by it, so it is clear which sheet should be voided*
Every permit need all applicable APPLICATION(S) and the application Addendum.
