Reviewer Comment
Provide exit access travel distance and demonstrate compliance.
What to Review
- • Life safety plan
- • Occupancy classification
- • Travel distance
- • Sheet A2.1
Another correction cycle can cost more than just time.
Every additional round of plan review can affect design schedules, consultant coordination, financing, construction timing, and project costs.
Select a card to see what may be driving the issue and how a structured review can help.
START WITH WHAT YOU HAVE
You do not need a perfect package before asking for help.
The correction notice is the starting point. Add the project documents that make a particular comment easier to understand, and tell us which part of the resubmission is holding up the team.
See the request form02
Helpful context
Relevant plan pages, prior response letters, calculations, or product information when they help explain a comment.

Project basics
Jurisdiction, project type, current stage, and the part of the correction cycle that is creating the most uncertainty.
A USEFUL WORKING OUTPUT
Move from a correction letter to a shared plan for the next submission.
The goal is not to replace your architect, engineer, or reviewer. It is to make the feedback easier to understand, assign, and carry into a coordinated response.
✓
Comment map
A numbered, plain-language view of the reviewer comments so the team can see what was asked and where it may relate to the project.
✓
Priority and dependencies
A practical way to distinguish high-attention comments, administrative requests, and issues that may affect multiple drawings or disciplines.
✓
Coordination checklist
A working list of documents, sheets, questions, and project-team follow-ups to use while preparing a response and resubmission.
Every project is different. The example below shows the kind of organized context a review can surface; it is not a determination of code compliance.
View exampleHOW IT WORKS
Follow each comment from the correction letter to the response package.
The review is organized around the feedback already issued for your project. Each comment becomes a trackable issue with context, likely dependencies, and a practical next step.
1. Locate
Connect the comment to the affected drawing or document.
2. Clarify
Explain the request and identify open questions.
3. Coordinate
Turn the issue into an assignable response task.
01
Upload the correction package
Start with the document issued by the jurisdiction. Add only the project context that helps explain the comments.
- Correction notice or reviewer letter
- Relevant plan sheets or calculations
- Jurisdiction and project stage
02
Turn comments into an issue map
We separate each comment, connect it to likely documents or disciplines, and surface dependencies that can affect the response.
- Plain-language comment summary
- Priority and dependency signals
- Questions for the project team
03
Coordinate the resubmission
Use the organized output to assign work, verify supporting material, and prepare a clearer response package.
- Owner or consultant assignment
- Drawing and document checklist
- Response-letter outline

CLEAR ROLES, FEWER SURPRISES
A clearer handoff between the review, your team, and the jurisdiction.
Knowing what this review can and cannot do helps set up a more productive resubmission conversation.
We help organize
Reviewer language, potential affected documents, questions to resolve, and a coordinated next-step list.
Your project team decides
Design changes, calculations, professional seals, code interpretations for the project, and the final response strategy.
The jurisdiction decides
Whether the resubmission satisfies its adopted requirements and whether the permit is approved.

COMMENT 07
Needs attentionExit access travel distance
Jurisdiction comment
“Provide exit access travel distance and demonstrate compliance with applicable requirements.”
What it appears to mean
The reviewer appears to be asking for a dimensioned path from the occupied area to the required exit, coordinated with the life-safety information.

WHY CODEBOOK
Building-code research is only useful if it helps move the project forward.
CodeBook is building tools around local building requirements and permitting workflows. This pilot focuses on one specific problem: helping project teams make sense of plan check comments before resubmission.
Your project documents should be treated like project documents.
Private by default
Project information submitted for review is not intended for public publishing.
Clear source separation
Reviewer comments should remain clearly distinguishable from explanations or recommendations.
No approval guarantees
Final interpretation, design decisions, and permit approval remain with the applicable jurisdiction and licensed professionals involved in the project.
Frequently asked questions
What is a plan check comment review?+
It is an organized review of the corrections or comments issued by a building department or other reviewing agency, intended to help you understand what needs attention before resubmission.
Is this a permit approval service?+
No. CodeBook cannot guarantee approval. Final approval decisions belong to the reviewing jurisdiction.
Does this replace my architect or engineer?+
No. The service is intended to help organize and understand reviewer feedback. Project-specific architectural, engineering, or legal decisions should be handled by the appropriate licensed professional.
What documents will I need to send?+
Start with the correction notice or plan check comments. Relevant plan pages, a prior response letter, calculations, or product information can be helpful when they clarify a specific issue.
Can you check my permit status?+
No. This is not a public permit-status lookup. It is for project teams that already have plan check comments or a correction notice and need help organizing the resubmission work.
Is the review automated?+
This initial pilot is a technology-assisted service and may include manual review. The focus is on producing a useful result rather than presenting the process as fully automated.
