Many local jurisdictions now rely on third-party reviewers to assist in properly and objectively evaluating plans submitted with building permit and occupancy requests. Third-party plan reviews bring a new level of objectivity to the transaction. This transparency provides an additional measure of assurance that code-compliance is complete, and that the assets, both of the applicant and the community will be protected.

We conduct these desk-top reviews, with electronic submissions, for many jurisdictions and engineering firms across the country. Turn-around can be surprisingly quick and the results are reported professionally, and often include recommendations for improving the design and saving money.

Code Compliance
Sebench's Engineers are experts in code compliance. When your plans are submitted for peer review, we immediately perform a code audit of your submittal to ensure that all state, local and national building and fire codes are met. Because we work with these codes daily, we are able to stay abreast of all changes and modifications that impact your project.

Since code compliance can be a considerable expense, why not take the extra measure of protection that can come by using a third-party reviewer to optimize your expenditure?

Alternative Methods
Because there is considerable leeway in the interpretation of building and fire codes, alternative methods of compliance are often available that provide flexibility, and often superior protection. Our engineers are experts in alternative methods, and even sit on alternative method boards for local jurisdictions. Our alternate methods are completely within code, and can often save hundreds of thousands of dollars in compliance-related economies. Building a better fire protection system is not always more costly.
