Title 24 for a Permit Revision After Plan Check
A revision after plan check goes back to the building department as amended plans, specifications and certificates of compliance. Where the CF1R is registered, the revised CF1R is registered first, its revision number rises, and only that current revision is valid for the department.

The rule behind a revision submittal
Section 10-103(a)2B of Part 1 applies when a specification changes before final construction or installation so that the building may no longer comply. The building must be brought back into compliance and the change shown on amended plans, specifications and certificates, which go to the department for approval. The characteristics covered include the efficiency of each feature. The department can also ask for the compliance software input file behind the new certificate (Section 10-103(a)2C).
The order that works
- Re-run the model against the revised drawings.
- Register the revised CF1R with the ECC-Provider data registry. The Reference Appendices require revised documents to be registered before they are resubmitted.
- Replace the CF1R in the plan set with the new registered revision.
- Resubmit the amended plans and certificate together.
What registration does to the old copy
Registering a revision needs a fresh signature by the registration signer, and the revision digit in the number goes up. Every earlier revision becomes obsolete, so a printed sheet from the first submittal can no longer support the permit. Any registered document that depends on the revised one loses its registered status and shows as incomplete until it is signed again.
Changes made in the field
The compliance manual says that when change orders are issued, the permit applicant and the building department are responsible for verifying that the changes do not compromise compliance. Field changes that result in noncompliance need approval of revised plans and revised energy documents. If a design change is behind the revision, read what happens when the architect changes the plans. For substituted equipment see different equipment than the CF1R.
The department that stamped the first set decides what a resubmittal must contain, as the plan set page explains. Our residential Title 24 reports include revisions until the project complies.

Only when the change may take the building out of compliance. If it does not, ask the department whether it wants the existing certificate left in place.
Where registration applies, no. The Reference Appendices require the revised documents to be registered before resubmittal to the department.
