In February the Town of Wake Forest will launch a digital permitting and building plan review system that saves time and money for architects, developers, planners, residents and anyone else planning a residential or commercial project.
Known as Electronic Plan Review (EPR), the new initiative allows anyone who needs to have a plan reviewed by the Town to submit the plan electronically, and then see comments left by plan reviewers in real time.
In addition to saving time and money, EPR also saves paper and eliminates the cost of printing multiple sets of plans for review. It also allows applicants to access the plans they submitted and monitor the status of their plan review anywhere internet service is available. Finally, EPR effectively reduces the amount of time applicants must spend at Town Hall, while also shortening wait times.
The Inspections Department will host a kick-off demonstration on Electronic Plan Review on Friday, Feb. 9, at 8:30 a.m. in the Town Hall Ground Floor Meeting Room, 301 Brooks Street. The room is most easily accessible via the Taylor Street entrance to Town Hall.
