The REVIEW PROCESS

INTRODUCTION   

This document includes City of Glendale file preparation standards for electronic drawings and documents submitted as part of a building permit application. These file preparation standards are designed to ensure not only consistency at the application stage, but consistency in the City’s long-term document retention system. If your documents do not follow these preparation standards, your application may be rejected, and the review delayed.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBMITTING DOCUMENTS

To submit your building permit application for review, please note the following general requirements.

1. ALL construction documents(plans) should be submitted in PDF format as a complete set of documents and not as individual pages.

2. Documents other than plans, such as the permit application, agreements, reports, etc., must be submitted as separate documents using the files names (ex. Engineering Calcs, Soils Report, Drainage Report, etc) as Document Naming Standards.

3. In order to optimize Bluebeam’s functionality, TrueType fonts are required for plan sets/drawings. Bluebeam cannot always recognize pixilated fonts, which may cause process errors. Recommended fonts include Ariel, Times New Roman, Courier, and Helvetica.
