Plan Review
JAS Pacific shall provide the City with plan review services by utilizing certified Plans Examiner and Registered Engineers as
needed. All assigned personnel shall meet all required qualifications, education, and certification/licensing as applicable for
the field they will be working in. Additionally, all assigned personnel possess the requisite skills and experience required to
perform multi-disciplinary plan checks as detailed below.
Off-Site Services
JAS Pacific proposes to provide the City with plan review services through our in -house plan review team administered at our
headquarters. We believe this is the most comprehensive and efficient approach to providing building plan review services
to the public and City staff. JAS Pacific has qualified and experienced staff that can provide technical assistance to archi tects
and engineers, discuss and explain plan review corrections and meet any demands requested by the applicants or as directed
by the City. This approach is detailed in the “Plan Review Activities” flowchart.
Project File Created
A project file is created in our cloud-based Workflow system with all of the
appropriate project information including address, permit number, when the
project was received, when the project is due, and the assigned team member.
Project Assignment
Once a project is received, it is evaluated to determine complexity based on type
(residential/commercial/industrial), square footage, number of stories, type of
construction, etc. Then, the project is assigned to a plan check engineer and the
review begins. The project will remain with the assigned engineer for the duration
of the project.
Comprehensive Review (Corrections & Approvals)
A review is conducted by our qualified plan check team, a correction list is prepared
to identify the items that need correction and this list is provided to the City in a
digital format. If/when a third review is necessary, JAS Pacific plan review team
members will reach out to the applicant to clarify any potential outstanding
corrections. To ensure new plan check corrections are not generated on
supplemental reviews, the project will be reviewed by the team member originally
assigned to the project. In the event supplemental comments are necessary due
to an undisclosed modification in the scope of work, JAS Pacific will notify the City
and the applicant immediately.
Plan Review Documents
Once a review is complete and is not ready for approval, JAS Pacific will provide a complete Correction List of items requiring
correction, clarification, or change to be approved. The correction list will be prepared in an approved format and provided
to the City in a paper and/or electronic format for paper plans and electronic format for electronic plans and will be sent
directly to the applicant and City representatives. Additionally, a transmittal will be provided stating the date the plans were
reviewed, disposition, address, permit number, and the hours spent on the review. All of these documents will be available
in our cloud-based storage for reference as well .
Digital File of Approved Plans
Upon approval, JAS Pacific will provide the City with a digital file of the plans that have achieved approval status. This w ill
relieve the City from performing this function within their offices and the digital file of the approved plans will be available
when the approved plan sets are returned to the Building & Safety Department.
JAS PACIFIC | 8
Electronic Plan Review
JAS Pacific can provide the City with an Internet-based system in support of plan review
services for electronic plan submission (E-Submittal). This document workflow solution
will allow applicants and City personnel to initiate and complete the plan revi ew process
online (including the submission of electronic comments), rather than using a manual,
paper-based process that requires printing and shipping. Said services will improve the
plan review cycle, reduce costs (i.e. paper use, printing and storage costs, drive time, and
gasoline consumption), and support JAS Pacific’s Business Friendly Policy of providing
services in a streamlined and seamless fashion as efficiently as possible. JAS Pacific staff
has worked with various programs including, but not limited to, Project Dox, Blue Beam,
and E-Plan Soft.
File Transfer Portal
JAS Pacific will provide a cloud-based file transfer portal that will allow for the uploading
of all electronic files. We use secure content collaboration, file sharing, and sync solution
that supports all the document tasks and workflow needs of electronic plan review. All
parties on the file box are notified when plans are uploaded, modified, or accessed.
Restrictions can easily be placed on the file to maintain control and ensure the files are
up-to-date documents.
Marked-up | Approved Plans
JAS Pacific will provide the City and applicant with a file of the plans along with a clear
and concise correction list. This review and correction list development will take place
utilizing Bluebeam which allows for clear identification of corrections and their location
on the plans. This process results in a quicker response time from applicants due to the
simplicity of access to each area that requires correction.
Real-Time Plan Tracking
JAS Pacific utilizes a cloud-based system to provide up-to-the-minute “Real-Time”
tracking of plans currently in our queue. This system provides many features related to
the management of projects, however, the key components include the project start
date, due date, and the disposition. Notifications are sent when the project’s due date
approaches, is completed, and approvals are given. The City would have full access to
this program to view the status of each project currently under review with JAS Pacific.
Availability to the Public | Meetings
JAS Pacific will be available to all City staff and applicants to ensure an efficient plan review process is achieved and to
maintain communication. Meetings – At the request of the City, JAS Pacific will be present for all necessary meetings,
including but not limited to, project pre-submittal, during the review process , and after permit issuance. These meetings may
take place in City Hall, over the phone, or via teleconference (Zoom or Teams). Phone Calls/Emails – JAS Pacific is always
available via phone or email to discuss projects and technical data.
Reporting
JAS Pacific will provide detailed reports at the frequency most desired by the City. The software systems we utilize allow f or
custom reports to be prepared with as much or as little detail, including but not limited to, projects reviewed within a defined
timeframe along with the status, assigned plan review engineer, contact information, date received, and date returned. These
reports can be prepared in an Excel or PDF format and provided as frequently as desired by the City.

Turnaround Schedule
A well-defined schedule allows for a clear understanding of the expectations for the City, applicants , and JAS Pacific. The
schedule details not only the task but how long it takes for the tasks to be completed. JAS Pacific has a robust team of over
25 plan check engineers and plans examiners of which each has more than 15 years of experience. The size and experience
of our team allow for us to meet and exceed the requested turnaround times the City has defined. These tasks are completed
within the timeframes in the table below.
