Project Management Resources

Back to resources list

Many campus offices are involved in plans review, along with Buildings and Grounds Maintenance (BGM) who administers the process. Plans review can reduce project costs and time to obtain a permit and it ensures that Stanford standards and guidelines are maintained. To get started, contact your Zone Manager who will help you coordinate the process, along with Maps and Records.

BGM Operations provides repairs, maintenance, landscaping, and other services, and can be a helpful source of information about your building. They can recommend appropriate equipment for your project.

Tips for Plans Review

• Plans review can be conducted at three stages:
  • Schematic design
  • Design development
  • Construction documents
• Use the Plans Review Transmittal Letter to submit your project documents
• Use the Facilities Design Guidelines to choose appropriate materials and equipment for your project
• Allow 2 weeks to complete the review process
