This
scheduling system does not support the submittal of revisions to
existing approved plans or HVAC submittals where there is no related
building alteration plan. Both of these require submittal of
form SBD-118.
Also, both may be scheduled by completing the
form and faxing it to 877-840-9172, or emailing it to
planschedule@commerce.state.wi.us.
Contact
the review office
of your choice if you feel you may need to make an preliminary
discussion appointment with a plan reviewer.
The
symbol * next
to a field means the field is required to be
completed before submittal is accepted.
Web
scheduling has two paths to create the “application
form.”
-
The first path is to use the “Schedule a New Building Plan
Review” for
the initial submittal of a project. This initial submittal
could be a petition, a footing foundation submittal, the
typical building structural and architectural , or a footing and
foundation and structural shell submittal.
- The
second path is to use the “Retrieve
Information" for
subsequent submittals to complete that building
- HVAC, fire alarm, fire suppression, kitchen hood, interior bleacher,
building architectural review following a petition or footing and
foundation review, etc. Whenever possible use the
“Retrieve” button, by entering in known
S&B customer
numbers.
If
you do not have a Safety and Building Division customer number, be sure
to have designer, owner, supervising professional, etc., contact
information ready before you begin entering the appointment
request on the web.
Be sure you have specific site
location where possible, i.e. street address, specific municipality,
county, etc.
It is
strongly recommended that a scheduler review the User Manual.
Questions
on scheduling may be emailed to planschedule@commerce.state.wi.us.
Structural
components are not scheduled. Submit the
components to the office specified in the building plan approval
letter, using form SBD-118,
the plan review application form.
If you wish to
submit multiple
buildings on the same submittal you have two options,
depending
on the situation: Both options may be used on the same submittal
transaction.
-
For identical multiple buildings, just
indicate the number of additional identical buildings on
this screen.( Note that if you have 3 identical buildings you would
enter 2 as the additional identical buildings)
-
For non-identical buildings After you have completed all the
information for the first building, click on the “Save
Building and Go to List”, then click on the “Add
Building” button
again and proceed to indicate the information for the next building.
Repeat as necessary.
What
will happen when you schedule?
Someone wishing
to schedule a commercial building plan review may enter required
information about the plan review request and
about project specifics into this web-based system and electronically
submit
it to the Safety and Buildings Division. Upon completion of entering,
the submitter receives a summary message, including a transaction
number. This transaction number combined with the designer's
S&B customer identification numbers allow someone to check the
status
of the a review. See
plan review status check page.
S&B
plan
entry staff review submitted data and coordinate it with existing
customers, sites,
and facilities, or create new ones. Staff then assigns the review as
close to the
desired review date as possible. Note that plan entry will
attempt to
honor choice of review office. However, if the
balance of workload between plan review offices or
availability of plan reviewers does not allow scheduling in the
location specifically requested, a reviewer in another office may be
assigned. Normally the same reviewer is assigned to
subsequent
HVAC and other components after the initial approval. Fire alarm and
suppression reviews are done by a limited number of reviewers in
Waukesha only. The next available date in the table may not be
applicable in these situations.
Plan
entry will email you a confirmation form
specifying the review date, office, and reviewer.
Plans
and a copy of the confirmation form must be received in the
scheduled office by 2:30 p.m. two working days prior to the scheduled
date. This allows fiscal processing and marrying with previous
appropriate files prior to the review.
Your
plans will be reviewed on or shortly after the scheduled date.
The
designer will receive an emailed letter of conditional approval upon
review
completion. Or, in cases where the plans are held for additional
information, the designer will receive a phone call. There
will be a follow-up paper letter if the
hold cannot be resolved by phone/email/fax.

Frequently
asked questions about the commercial buildings plan review
scheduling
This page is brand new and hasn't received any
questions yet.
You
made an
entry error or that S&B has incorrect
information
If
you realize you have made an entry error or see S&B data that
is
not correct, make a note of the problem, complete the scheduling, and
then email the correction (with the transaction number) to planschedule@commerce.state.wi.us.
Should
you be submitting to another agency?
There
are a number of local municipalities which do plan review (and, some,
inspections) for their jurisdiction, including Milwaukee (go to the
Milwaukee Department
of City Development). For commercial building
projects within municipalities
to which S&B has delegated review authority contact
that municipality (see list of Wisconsin
municipalities Web sites). The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) requires proper
inspections, notification and removal of asbestos containing materials
for renovations and demolitions. For more information on Wisconsin
Administrative Code, Chapter NR 447 please visit the DNR website at http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/org/aw/air/reg/asbestos/.
