Whether you’re planning a property improvement or navigating building design requirements, understanding how proposed work aligns with regulations is essential. K&H offers Plan Review and Code Review services to help property owners, associations, and design teams make informed decisions and reduce risk. From reviewing unit modifications against community standards to evaluating structural and energy code compliance, our team provides technical insight at key points in the process—supporting smoother approvals and well-executed projects.
Building codes are intended to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public. They define minimum standards for construction, including requirements for fire protection, egress, accessibility, energy efficiency, materials, and structural loads. A formal code review is typically conducted at the end of the design process during permitting.
Because codes are often open to interpretation and frequently updated, early review helps identify potential issues and avoid costly design changes. Addressing code requirements during the design phase allows for smoother project development and fewer delays down the line.
K&H offers code review services with a focus on structural design, egress, and energy code requirements.
A Plan Review takes place when a residential or commercial unit owner proposes improvements to their portion of a shared or common property. Associations and building owners often establish Construction Rules and Regulations to guide the review process, creating a consistent and fair framework for evaluating proposed modifications.
These reviews rely on input from licensed professionals—engineers, architects, and MEP/FP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection) engineers—who bring technical expertise to the process.
K&H also offers support in developing or updating Construction Rules and Regulations to better serve the needs of the property and its community.
