Plan Review is a very important process of the permitting process with the Department of Planning, which involves examining all drawings for the proposed structure(s) for compliance with building codes and local policies. For a typical project this would be done by Building Control, part of the Department of Planning. Third-Party Plan Review takes this examination process to the private sector, which will hasten the permitting process. Cayman Code Specialists Ltd. is an approved Third-Party Plan Review Agency in the Cayman Islands.

Due to the rapid development in the Cayman Islands, developers are experiencing lengthened waiting periods during the Plan review process. Third-Party Plan Review can save months on a project, due to the following reasons: - CCS provides a very quick review turnaround for our customers. - A direct line of communication is established between the designer and reviewer. This means that any issues that arise during the review can be clearly discussed before being made on the plans. - The turnaround time for re-reviews is drastically reduced. In addition to time savings, CCS is a group of highly experienced individuals. You can be assured that you are receiving the highest quality review by using our services. This can lead to cost savings by mitigating code issues before the construction stage.

Each project will differ, depending on its complexity. At the proposal stage, we will list an expected timeline. In general the following can be expected for the first review: - Simple residential: 3-5 business days - Complex residential: 5 business days - Commercial fit-outs: 5-7 business days - Simple commercial: 7 business days - Complex commercial: 10-15 business days If you are on a tighter timeline required, we are able to provide an expedited review. Please contact us for pricing.

All work is performed on a proposal basis. Please contact us for information regarding pricing.

Ongoing inspections are required throughout construction, to ensure safety and code compliance. These inspections are typically performed by Building Control (Department of Planning). Third-Party Inspections takes this process to the private sector.

Going third-party for the inspections on your project ensures that your construction timeline will not be delayed by the inspection process. Currently waiting periods for inspections with Building Control are up to 5 working days (one week), due to the rapid development here in the Cayman Islands. Waiting this long for inspections can severely delay a fast-paced project. In addition to time savings, you can be assured that CCS will provide the highest quality inspections of your valuble property. This can lead to cost savings down the line.
