- Plan Reviews: Conducting detailed evaluations of fire protection systems and building design, ensuring compliance with applicable codes and standards.

How can TERPconsulting help you navigate plan review backlogs?
Plan review delays stall progress on projects and cost building owners valuable time and resources. By utilizing the Technical Assistance provision, TERPconsulting helps bridge the gap between building owners and AHJs. Our team works closely with AHJs to deliver technical reviews, providing clarity and resolving concerns that might otherwise slow down the approval process.
This collaboration not only benefits building owners but also supports AHJs by reducing their workload and ensuring that projects are code compliant. It’s a win-win solution that promotes safety and efficiency for all stakeholders involved.
How can TERPconsulting support AHJs?
AHJs are often juggling burgeoning workloads with minimal staffing and pressure to expedite the plan review turnaround time. AHJs can capitalize on the CFC’s Tech Assist provision by offering customers who are willing to pay to have their projects reviewed by TERPconsulting. Traditionally invoked for unusual or specialized projects, the Tech Assist provision can be leveraged to divert some of the backlog to TERPconsulting. With years of experience conducting municipal plan review for multiple agencies in other states, TERPconsulting will work with your team to ensure a seamless and thorough review is conducted.
