To assist the Fairfax County Project Management Team, the Land Development Services Building Division has assigned project managers to help customers with building plan review and inspections.
No two construction projects interface with plan review and inspections in the same way. The Building Division project management team is designed to guide a project by identifying and filling in gaps during the process. For a complex project, the Building Division project manager will proactively communicate with project stakeholders, develop a project plan, identify tasks and deliverables, create a preliminary schedule, and determine the critical path through the plan review process. Once a project is in the system, the project manager will monitor, control and adjust as necessary to leverage efficiencies. These project managers are technically savvy and customer-service oriented with quality experience and knowledge of the land development process in Fairfax County.
