Denver’s Average Plan Review Time Almost Reaches 400 Days

Denver’s Average Plan Review Time Almost Reaches 400 Days

March must have been a busy month for the City and County of Denver, especially for their Community Planning and Development Services Department. The average plan review time for any Major Residential Project almost reached 400 days, meaning homeowners could expect around 13 months before obtaining building permits for projects like home additions or renovations. While Denver didn’t break its own record, it came close with 391 days noted on March 20th, 2024. As of publishing, Denver seems to have improved, bringing the average down to a stable 354 days. This delay can be attributed to a surge in renovation projects following the 2019 remodeling boom, coupled with a shortage of staff. Despite improvements, the process remains somewhat unpredictable. If you’re planning construction in Denver, consider partnering with Sustainable Design Build, a firm specializing in architecture, engineering, and project management, to streamline the process and ensure a smoother, more eco-friendly construction experience.

Bronco’s Ex-Quarterback Russell Wilson Sells Cherry Hills Village mansion

Yes, you read that right. Bronco’s ex-quarterback, Russell Wilson, has sold his Cherry Hills Village mansion this week.
