Building Code and Permit Review Specialist

Work you will do

• Check drawing packages against the codes and review criteria relevant to the building and jurisdiction.
• Identify omissions, conflicts and unworkable details, and explain their significance using an organized plan-review approach.
• Produce readable markups and written findings with tools such as Bluebeam where appropriate.

Required background and routes

• US-based current or recent building-code review responsibility, with at least three years reviewing permit plans for an authority, private provider or third-party reviewer.
• ICC B1, B2 or B3 plans-examiner certification, or current/recent AHJ or third-party plan-review employment. This route does not impose a degree requirement.
• Use Bluebeam Revu or equivalent to measure and annotate plans; apply IBC, IEBC, IECC and ICC A117.1 as relevant. Contracting, estimating, drafting or permit-expediting without substantive plan review is insufficient.

Preferred background

• Eight or more years reviewing plans; reviewer mentoring, QA, correction libraries and experience comparing code editions or jurisdictions.
