The Expedited Building Plan Review (EBPR) program, which has been available at Fairfax County’s Land Development Services (LDS) for over 20 years, is one of several methods provided to expedite review of permits for construction projects using certified and approved peer reviewers. EBPR is open to plans for any project size, construction type or use group without pre-approval by the Building Official.

Plans that go through the EBPR program have review timelines seven times shorter than non-EBPR plans. This significant reduction in review time is possible because EBPR plans have been reviewed by peer reviewers, resulting in better quality plans than non-EBPR plans. A majority of peer reviewed plans received at LDS are Commercial Interior Alteration (ALTC) plans. All plans, including these high-volume commercial interior alteration plans, are eligible for the expedited building plan review program.

Leveraging the expedited building plan review program could save your project time and money. If you are interested in participating in the EBPR program, contact Ali Heidari Goodarzi at 703-324-1087.
