The Inspections Department will host an Electronic Plan Review (EPR) kick-off demonstration this Friday, Feb. 9, at 8:30 a.m. in the Town Hall Ground Floor Meeting Room, 301 S. Brooks St. The room is most easily accessible via the Taylor Street entrance to Town Hall.
In February, the Town of Wake Forest launched EPR – a digital permitting and building plan review system. The initiative allows anyone who needs to have a plan reviewed by the Town to submit the plan electronically, and then see comments left by plan reviewers in real time.
EPR saves time and money for architects, developers, planners, residents and anyone else planning a residential or commercial project. In addition, it saves paper and eliminates the cost of printing multiple sets of plans for review. EPR also allows applicants to access the plans they submitted and monitor the status of their plan review anywhere internet service is available. Finally, EPR effectively reduces the amount of time applicants must spend at Town Hall, while also shortening wait times.
