How long does it take to review plans for residential construction?

Most minor projects such as decks or room reconfigurations are completed within a week. You should plan on allowing at least 2 weeks for plan review for a new home or for additions and other major work.

Note: Additional review time is required for each resubmission of plans for required corrections or changes to plans.
