Not sure these are the right services for your organization? Feel free to contact us anyway so we can figure out how GOPC can help advance a pre-approval program in your community.
Work Plan Development
Does your city have the desire and capacity to implement a pre-approved plans program but need some guidance on how to get started? GOPC can provide your jurisdiction with a work plan outlining the necessary steps, milestones, and evaluation metrics to build a successful pre-approved plans program. This work plan will be developed based on conversations with the project team leadership and on GOPC’s experience working with peer cities on pre-approval programs.
Consulting Services
GOPC can offer consulting hours on pre-approvals to be used as needed. This can be structured as a bank of hours that your city can draw down on as issues and conversations arise.
Potential topics of interest may include architectural licensing considerations, facilitating conversations with the Building Department regarding permit review, community engagement best practices, among others.
RFP Assistance
Is your jurisdiction in need of a consultant to assist with creating a pre-approved plans program? GOPC can develop an RFP to find the right professional for your needs. Potential needed consultants include:
Architect to develop building designs
Zoning consultant to make needed code adjustments
Educational Presentations
Pre-approved plans programs are a new concept in Ohio. GOPC can educate your community on benefits of these programs at private or public events, such as council meetings, community engagement events, and webinars.
