SECTION 4: SCOPE OF WORK
Plan Review Services
4LEAF will provide Plan Review for any and all types of structures to ensure compliance with all adopted codes,
local ordinances (including Tier 1 of Cal Green, if required) and State and federal laws that pertain to Building
and Safety, and for compliance with the adopted International Code Council (ICC) Building, Plumbing, Electrical,
Mechanical, National Fire Protection codes and standards, and the Accessibility and Noise and Energy
Conservation requirements as mandated by the State of California Title 24, State of California Water Efficient
Landscape Ordinance, the State of California Certified Access Specialist (CASp) compliance, and all other
applicable ordinances. We provide these services for project types including Single-Family Dwellings, large Multi-
Family Mixed-Use Dwelling Units, Commercial, and Industrial.
Approach
We understand that the specific building plan review responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:
•Examining plans, drawings, specifications, computations documents, soils reports, and additional data;
•Ascertaining whether projects are in accordance with applicable building and fire codes, and City
ordinances, including but not limited to Title 24 and Title 25;
•Performing such reviews as structural, MEP, green building, fire and life safety, grading and drainage;
•Reviewing plans to ensure conformity to the required strengths, stresses, strains, loads, and stability as
per the applicable laws;
•Reviewing plans to ensure conformity with use and occupancy classification, general building heights
and areas, types of construction, fire resistance construction and protection systems, means of egress,
accessibility, structural design, soils and foundations; and masonry;
•Providing additional plan review services as requested by the City;
•Conducting all plan review at the City Department or at a site mutually agreed upon in writing and;
•Supplying all plan review staff with all code books and other basic professional references.
4LEAF’s EZPlan Review
EZPlan Review is our in-house tracking software that
acts as a communication tool between 4LEAF and
the jurisdictions we work with. The use of EZPlan
makes communication easy. This web portal allows
users to visualize project due dates, notes, and
status updates so that projects can be followed
from start to finish. Additionally, 4LEAF provides
electronically stamped and uploaded copies of
approved project plans, a value which saves clients
time and resources. With the use of EZPlan, 4LEAF
hopes to provide a level of ease and transparency
during the off-site plan review process.

Section 4: Scope of Work Page 10
QA/AC Review Process
Task 1 - Project Tracking Set-up
The first step of our process will be to set up the project in our system to enable 4LEAF and the City of Lake
Elsinore each to track the progress of the review. Our plan tracking procedures are designed to track each
submittal throughout the review process and maintain accurate and comprehensive records for each submittal.
Task 2 - Complete Submittal Review
Upon receiving the plans from the City, 4LEAF will triage (preliminary plan review performed by 4LEAF plan
review project lead) the submittal to verify that the submittal received is complete (i.e., all pertinent plans,
calculations, reports, and other related documents) in order that we can begin our review. If the submitted
package is incomplete, we will communicate with the City to discuss the deficient documents needed to proceed
with our review.
Task 3 - Plan Review Assignment
After the triage process is performed and a complete package is verified, the project will be assigned to the most
qualified Plans Examiner and a turnaround time will be established. We will log each application into our
database the same day the plans are received to assure that they are routed in a timely manner and to allow for
daily project tracking.
Task 4 - Plan Review
4LEAF will provide the project contact (Developer, Contractor, Architect, or Engineer) desired by the City of Lake
Elsinore with a list of any items needing correction and clarification to comply with applicable building codes,
ordinances, and regulations. A correction list will be created based on the missing codes and ordinances.
Task 5 - Quality Control
Prior to submitting the plan review correction list to the City, the designated plan review project lead will review
the correction list for adherence to applicable codes and ordinances as well as for accuracy and completeness.
After completion of our quality control review a correction list will be e-mailed to a designated staff member in
the City of Lake Elsinore or as directed by the City. The correction list and a 4LEAF transmittal form will include
the following information: a description of the work, type of construction, occupancy group, square footage,
number of floors, and sprinkler requirements.
Task 6 - Plan Review Rechecks
Plans received for rechecks will be reviewed for conformance. Our goal is to actively work with the designers to
resolve all unresolved issues after our second review. If it appears that there are complicated issues that might
cause a project to go beyond our second review, we will communicate directly with the designer to resolve
these concerns.
Task 7 - Project Approval
Once the final plan reviews are completed and ready for approval, 4LEAF will organize the plans and supporting
documents per the City of Lake Elsinore processing requirements and return them to the City, along with our
letter of completion.

Turn-Around Times
4LEAF has a tremendous reputation for completing projects on-time and within budget. 4LEAF’s plan review
team is widely recognized for quick turn-around times and prompt service. Off-site plan reviews are performed
at our office, with plans transmitted by personal delivery or overnight service. The standard turn-around time is
within 10 business days for residential plan reviews and within 10 days for commercial/industrial plan reviews;
however, these timeframes are negotiable based on your needs. 4LEAF also provides Fire Plan Review services.

*Larger complex plan reviews can be negotiated to achieve the best possible pricing. 4LEAF has a proven track
record of working with municipalities to provide expedited reviews with special discounted pricing.
Pick-up of all plans will be performed by 4LEAF staff within 24 hours of the City’s phone call or e-mail. 4LEAF
prefers to pick-up and deliver the plans in person to communicate information that may be pertinent to the
project and maintain consistent communication. At no additional cost, 4LEAF staff will transport the plans to and
from the City upon a phone call to the 4LEAF office or simply e-mail pickupsocal@4leafinc.com.
Document Control
When plans and documents are received for review, 4LEAF’s Plan
Review Manager and Document Control Technician analyzes the
project, creates a job number, and completes a Job Setup Sheet.
This form highlights both the jurisdiction, applicable contact
information, and all project specific design criteria and notes. Jobs
are then transmitted through 4LEAF’s easily accessed EZPlan
Review Portal which tracks initial and subsequent reviews and is
open for view by the client. The City and their customers can view
4LEAF’s plan review control log through 4LEAF’s EZPlan Review
Portal.
Plans then get distributed for review to a 4LEAF team consisting of Plan Review Engineers, Architect (a licensed
state professional) and/or an ICC Certified Plans Examiner, as applicable. Our staff then performs his or her
function of analyzing the plans and documentation for effective conformance to the state codes, referenced
construction standards, and City amendments. 4LEAF’s code review methodology is “The Effective Use of the
Qualifications to Provide Building Plan Check and Inspection Services to the City of Lake Elsinore April 1, 2024
Section 4: Scope of Work Page 12
Codes” reinforced through proprietary and jurisdictional checklists. When complete, the Plan Review Manager
overviews the project for quality control purposes and forwards comments or approvals to the client’s pre-
designated contacts.
Off-Site Electronic Plan Review
Digital plan review allows 4LEAF the ability to review, markup and transport plans of any size electronically. We
strongly encourage this service for our clients. This process delivers a high degree of cost effectiveness, time
efficiency and a “green” and environmentally friendly system. Through our strong focus on utilizing this digital
capability, we offer full access to all 4LEAF engineers and plans examiners company-wide, from any of our office
locations. A protected online portal will be established to allow property owners, contractors, developers,
businesses, designers, and stakeholders to submit plans electronically for review. Access to the online portal will
be given to City staff for immediate access to information regarding project status during the review process.
4LEAF has successfully implemented and used Bluebeam for electronic review of
files to help eliminate the use of paper and take the plan review workflow to a
whole new level. 4LEAF’s offices are equipped with large-scale monitors for easy
review of plans. Bluebeam Revu combines powerful PDF editing, markup, and collaboration technology with
reliable file creation. Bluebeam integrates flawlessly with our Green Line approach for electronic and timely
turnarounds resulting in permit issuance within 5-7 business days.
Process Mapping
4LEAF aims to bring departmental processes together by identifying and eliminating obstacles to streamline
processes. Our subject-matter experts visit each department within a jurisdiction to conduct an analysis of
existing processes, identify how best to streamline separate departmental processes to improve workflow, and
provide guidance and recommendations on an improved work plan. 4LEAF implementation staff work both on-
and off-site during this process and offer extensive training to existing municipal staff members on the use of a
jurisdiction’s preferred permitting software.
We have a robust amount of experience with software that aids in the implementation of process mapping, such
as e-PlanSoft, TRAKiT, EnerGov, Accela, and iWorQ.
Additional Technologies
Having served more than 400 jurisdictions, 4LEAF and our staff are knowledgeable and have experience working
with a variety of different technologies for Electronic Plan Review, Permit Tracking, and Building Inspections.
4LEAF’s experience with tracking technologies includes, but is not limited to:
Certified Access Specialist Services (CASp)
