Plan check comments can be delivered electronically by email or other agency-
approved means, enabling staff to immediately modify CSG’s checklist for
incorporation with other department comments. We provide convenient,
environmentally friendly digital storage of all construction-related documents,
and on request, can provide clients with a set of digitally scanned plans at no
additional cost.
In addition, for jurisdictions requesting a pure digital plan review workflow, we
can enable an applicant to submit digital files—with no size limitations—directly
to CSG via our web-based application. Our application includes an online portal
for the applicant/jurisdiction to retrieve comments and marked-up digital plans
including redlines. Importantly, this service tracks the status of all submittals and
re-submittals until the plans have been approved.
Key features of our digital plan review service include:
Efficient. Plans are pushed to plan review staff the same day they are received.
User-friendly. CSG developed its own online portal specifically to manage the electronic file
submittal process. Through use of this interface, the applicant is no longer faced with size
restrictions on email attachments or required to learn complex file transfer settings.
Proven. We have provided a digital plan review option to our clients for over 20 years.
Non-Proprietary. CSG’s electronic review process is 100% PDF-based with no additional software
required to view redlines.
Our firm brings specialized expertise, proven digital plan review capabilities
including experience with Bluebeam Studio and Energov. CSG staff utilizes the
latest version of Bluebeam Revu for digital plan review. Of particular note is the
software’s ability to quickly compare two similar documents, particularly near approval,
to ensure no additional unapproved changes are made.
Online Plan Check Status
CSG offers a convenient service allowing clients to check
plan review status and comments online. By accessing our secure Plan Check
Status website, agency staff as well as authorized applicants can view their
project documents and plans and communicate with the specific plan checker via
e-mail. Staff and authorized applicants can download comments upon
completion of the plan check. There is no additional cost for this service.
Plans Pickup and Delivery
CSG will coordinate pickup and delivery of plans and other materials from/to the agency via CSG
personnel or an approved alternative service.
Green Building and LEED Accreditation
Our Building Division team is experienced in plan review and inspection for compliance with CALGreen and
local green building ordinances and includes LEED Accredited Professionals. In addition, CSG Consultants has
the qualifications necessary to assist with both the development of policy and the implementation of green
and sustainable building practices. CSG’s Sustainability Programs division can assist, for example, with
construction and demolition debris recycling programs and public outreach to the building industry.
CSG is well-versed
with utilization of
Bluebeam and
Energov, for a pure
digital, concurrent
review workflow.

certified professionals to review plans for accessibility and to facilitate
compliance with regulations when requested.
