In the midst of plan check corrections. Nothing seems too bad, mostly just adding notes to plans. There are four major categories of corrections:
-Building Plan Check (architectural items like railing height and path of travel distances to exits)
-Structural Plan Check (checking the structural calculations to see if beams etc... are sized properly)
-Grading (are retaining walls designed properly and is the drainage correct)
And the new one:
-Green Building (are the materials to the proper VOC content levels, is there room for solar...)

A lot of leg work but nothing too daunting so far.
