BPR
been updated since that time to address a multitude of building components, systems and equipment with the

building owners and operators a framework for identifying and
implementing measurable green building design methodologies,
construction, operations, and building maintenance. LEED certification
consists of a variety of rating systems applicable to multiple building types
including commercial as well as residential. Ratings reflect a measure of

energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, indoor
environmental quality, energy usage and the projects impact on the local
environment.

QUALITY CONTROL / SCHEDULE CONTROL
PLAN REVIEW SERVICES
All of BPR Consulting Group’s plan review services are closely managed from the moment a project is assigned
to completion of our services. Once a project is assigned it is entered into our custom designed plan review
database. The project documents are then triaged for completeness and to identify if any documents necessary
for plan review have not been provided. Upon completion of the triage process, plans examiners are assigned
as warranted by the proposed work associated with the specific project. All projects are closely monitored to
ensure assigned staff have the time necessary in their schedules to comprehensively review assigned projects
to maintain completion schedules.
We assign a dedicated team of plans examiners to serve specific clients so your BPR plan review team will
remain consistent throughout the term of the agreement. We believe assigning a dedicated team of plans
examiners best serves the needs of our clients, with BPR you will not have randomly assigned plans examiners
assigned to each project. All plan review services are closely monitored by our plan review supervisors and
managers for consistency, thoroughness, and quality. We utilize a discipline approach to our plan review
services, assigning a life safety reviewer, structural reviewer, electrical reviewer, mechanical/plumbing
Page 19

BPR
reviewer, grading/utility reviewer and fire reviewer, as appropriate, to each assigned project based on the
proposed scope of work. We believe utilizing a discipline approach provides a more comprehensive plan review
as each reviewer is a specialist in their discipline. Each plans examiner includes their email address and desk
phone number with their plan review comments to facilitate direct and efficient communication between
project designers and our professional plans examination staff. Our proposed Plan Review Manager, Roger
Peterson, reviews each project for thoroughness and accuracy prior to plan review comments being issued or
prior to recommendation of approval for permit purposes.
Upon award of a contract, our proposed Project Manager will schedule a meeting with the City’s representative
to familiarize the team with the City’s plan review process, methods and style. BPR’s staff of engineers and plans
examiners are experienced in working with multiple jurisdictions and adjusting so that they become an
extension of your staff. We utilize a comprehensive “New Client Checklist” that documents specific
requirements of each community we serve. Upon selection and before commencement of services, we schedule
a meeting with our new clients to review specific plan review requirements and systems used by our clients so
our services can be integrated in a seamless manner.
Should issues arise with the plan review services we have provided, our Plan Review Manager will contact City
staff to make sure we fully understand the specific issue, review the plan review comment or other item in
question, review the concern with our staff member, contact the project applicant if necessary to address the
specific issue, reissue the plan review comment letter if needed, discuss the specific issue with our assigned
team of Plans Examiners to make sure the error in question is not repeated on future projects, and follow up
with City staff to explain how the issue in question was resolved. Our Plan Review Manager will take any
additional steps necessary to ensure that we continue to provide services that meet or exceed your
expectations and are free of errors and omissions.
As noted above, all projects are logged in to our data base and assigned due dates. Our staff and managers all
have access to the data base and the due dates are carefully tracked and managed to ensure projects are
properly reviewed and completed in a timely manner.
BUILDING INSPECTION SERVICES
BPR will utilize appropriately qualified inspectors with applicable
experience and specific code knowledge based on the types of
projects assigned for inspection. All BPR inspectors are ICC-certified,

designated facilities. Qualified inspectors with experience inspecting
new, existing and historical buildings/sites and building code
enforcement, will be assigned as appropriate.
Our inspection staff will perform continuous or periodic construction inspections to verify that the work of
construction is in conformance with the approved project plans as well as identifying issues of non-compliance
with applicable building codes. When necessary for large or fast-track projects, multiple inspectors are available.
