Plans scheduled via the NEWAUTO Plan Review Scheduler* include:

• Building footing and foundation plans
  
• Structural plans
  
• Architectural plans
• Permission to start for footings and foundation (at own risk while waiting for plan review approval)
  
  

The new system will look and feel similar to the current system. It will allow submitters who need to schedule a new commercial building construction State plan review to choose their review office, reviewer, or the next available review date. In addition, the new system will provide you with an electronic appointment confirmation – no more waiting to hear back from DSPS regarding your plan being scheduled! Please note that this system is only for new construction (the building does not exist yet) type of review. This is NOT for revisions to existing buildings or fire suppression or fire alarm reviews. There will be a specific option to select to schedule a new construction plan review via the automated plan scheduling system.
