Changes to Contractors or Approved Drawings

Field reviews ensure that the scope of work complies with approved drawings. Deviations from approved drawings require addendums to permit drawings and subsequent approvals by all applicable reviewers.

Be sure to obtain permission from Building Services prior to making any changes to the approved plans.  For any changes made an addendum permit application is required.  If the drawings change, a cover letter with the architect’s signature and seal describing the change is required, as well as three new sets of architecturally clouded drawings.  If this involves changes to electrical and/or plumbing, a new electrical and/or plumbing permit application is also required. 

If the plumber or electrician change, a new permit application is required with a copy of the new plumber/electrician’s license.  A letter from the general contractor stating the change from the old contractor to the new contractor is also required.
   
If the general contractor or any of the subcontractors change, a letter from the owner stating the change from the old contractor to the new contractor is required.  The new contractor is also required to be licensed in the Village of Arlington Heights.

Revisions may take an additional 2-3 weeks to process.
