Quick Links
Current Issues: 
Pikes Peak Regional Building  December Updates
  • Master home builders past grace period – The grace period for the new code ended December 1st. They still have several home builders that as of December 1st do not have approved master plans to permit off of. Please be mindful, that as everyone submits at the same time, review times will increase.
  • Fireplace Contractor subs – When a new 101 permit is issued there will now be a category for the fireplace sub of record to be added for that permit. Please have your fireplace contractor name available when permitting.
  • Contractor 101 – Regional Building will be offering a Contractor 101 class starting in 2019 for contractors that are new to our jurisdiction, or who want a refresher. The class will cover features within the contractor web account, permits, plan submittal (e-plan), and inspections. This is a free optional class, but very beneficial. May also benefit contractor staff handling operations.
  • New Variance Process – Regional Building is making changes to our variance process. They are moving towards an electronic application process and the form will change a bit from the already adjusted process.
  • Permit Activity for November – The residential 101 permits were at a record high with 450 single family - 101 permits in November. (See attached)
  • Inspection Activity for November – the inspections were down slightly in November, but still a very busy month with 24,4433 across all disciplines. The building inspectors are averaging 26.5 inspections. Based on permit numbers December looks to be a busier inspection month.
  • Plan Review Activity – Plan review is very busy doing reviews. 516 single family home plans were submitted in November. That is a 71% increase from last November. They also had 82 new commercial plans submitted, which is an increase of 148% from this time last year.
  • Website inspection status update – There will be a change when checking the status of a pending inspection. They will now show the photo of the inspector, how many stops away the inspector is , and a link to email inspector from the inspection page.
