In this program, LADBS can begin to provide guidance at the conceptual design phase and continue to provide plan check and correction verification, throughout the subsequent design phases.

The benefits for a development project are:

• Identify and correct code violations early on and avoid cumbersome revisions to finished design.
• dentify clearances and obtain sign-offs from other agencies early on and avoid unexpected clearances.
• Reduce overall permit processing time, start and complete construction ahead of schedule.
• Reduce project cost due to time savings.

To initiate this process, email the following staff at the Metro office Plan Check:
