PUBLIC WORKS TO IMPLEMENT “CLOUD + DELTA” DRAFTING CONVENTION

Department of Public Works Building Division will be implementing the “Cloud + Delta” drafting convention for building permit plan changes effective April 17, 2023.  All permit plan resubmittals and revisions shall consist of the entire plan set, which shall be formatted to identify changes made to the previous plan set by using a “Cloud + Delta” drafting convention. The following “Cloud + Delta” format shall supersede the previous requirement for unmarked, “clean” plan sets; “clean” plan sets make it difficult to identify new changes and corrections compared to previous plan submittals.

Additionally, all resubmittals shall include a correction response letter, and all revisions shall include a revision narrative that describes changes that have been made. Responses to review comments in EPIC can state, “See correction response letter dated dd/mm/yy”.

Plan revisions and resubmittals that do not comply with the “Cloud+Delta” format and/or are not submitted with a corrections response letter or revision narrative shall be rejected at permit intake. Permit resubmittals and revisions received prior to April 17, 2023, will be processed without these requirements.
