SCOPE OF REVIEW:

The scope of this plan review covers architectural, plumbing, mechanical, energy conservation and electrical. All code references are to the 2003 International Residential Code, 2003 International Energy Conservation Code, and Arizona State amendments to the 2003 Uniform Plumbing Code. All features were checked only to the extent allowed by the submittals provided. All portions of this project are assumed to meet or will meet other departmental requirements, conditions and concerns before permit approval.

To avoid delays, ensure that all corrections have been made, are complete, and have been coordinated on all applicable detail and note sheets.

Two set of complete plans, a minimum plan size of 24"x 36" and a maximum plan size of 30"x 42". No loose sheets shall be attached, but structural calculations and manufactures cut sheets may accompany plans. The plans shall be drawn to scale of ¼"=1' and indicate the drawing scale.

All engineers and architects involved in the design of the structure are to seal the related sheets of plans, details and calculations in accordance with the rules of the State Board of Technical Registration.

Construction drawing guidelines are available from the residential desk of the Development Services Division.
