The construction documents are submitted to the County for review and permit issuance. Drawings submitted under the Expedited Building Plan Review Program are given priority over other drawings during the County plan review process. County staff will not approve the drawings if there is missing documentation or if code deficiencies have been found. Step 5 When all deficient items have been addressed by the design team and the corresponding corrections have been certified by the Peer Reviewers, the drawings are approved and permits are issued. Certified Peer Reviewers must meet the minimum qualifications set forth by the Fairfax County ordinance enabling the Expedited Building Plan Review Program.
BOCA certification is obtained by successfully completing a series of examinations.
Peer Reviewers must annually attend training offered by the Office of Building Code Services. This training focuses on state and local amendments to the building code and other County requirements. Back Program Advantages Speed Drawings submitted under the Expedited Building Plan Review Program will be processed by County staff on a priority basis. Quality With the private sector responsible for code compliance and coordination efforts, the quality of the submitted drawings is expected to improve. Higher quality will lead to fewer plan corrections, plan revisions, field modifications and change orders.
