What do Regular Plan Checks typically focus on?

Regular Plan Checks typically focus on large and complex projects because these undertakings often require a more thorough review process to ensure that they comply with zoning ordinances, building codes, and safety regulations. Such projects often involve multiple disciplines and stakeholders, which necessitates a comprehensive evaluation of various aspects, including structural integrity, mechanical systems, and compliance with environmental regulations.

In contrast, smaller or less complex projects, such as small tenant improvements or simple applications, may undergo expedited review processes or streamlined checks that can often be managed with less scrutiny. Medium complexity projects might have some focus from a plan check perspective, but they do not necessitate the same level of detail or oversight as large projects, hence the Regular Plan Check's emphasis on those larger undertakings where the stakes and complexities are significantly higher.
