Hi everyone,
When getting a BIM model ready for a DC permit submission, it’s important to make sure it meets all the local requirements and that everything is documented. That means organizing your model using consistent naming conventions and including all the necessary views and sheets, like life safety plans, energy compliance info, and accessibility details, based on what DCRA expects. You’ll also want to export a clean, coordinated PDF set and include any supporting files, like commissioning reports or energy models. Double-checking that your model’s geometry, annotations, and data align with the latest DC Building Code and permit checklist can help avoid delays. Using tools like Revit’s model checker and working closely with your consultants early on makes the process smoother and reduces the chances of having to re-submit.
