Plan Review and Construction Observation
In-Office OSHPD Over-The-Counter (OTC) Reviews
To provide better service to our clients, OSHPD provides an OTC review service that may be scheduled for projects with shorter review time. Each Office geographic region will:
- Reserve one day per week dedicated to OTC review
- Schedule OTCs in their region
- Review documents for facilities that are within their respective area of responsibility
Over-The-Counter (OTC) Reviews may be requested using the OTC schedules below. For the in-office OTC Review, click on the link next to the appropriate region within the schedule (note the day of the week) to send an email to the OSHPD Senior Architect/Project Manager.

Criteria for Qualifying Projects
The criteria for qualifying a project for an OTC review are 1 hour per discipline (2 hours for Structural). All construction documents and completed project applications must be submitted to OSHPD for triage to determine eligibility for an OTC review. Project applications may be submitted using the eServices Portal (eSP) Client Access system. Triage results are visible on the eSP Project Search web page.
-
After Project Triage
After triage, the designer will be notified by reply email if the project is eligible for OTC review, along with a proposed date and time for the OTC.
With approval from the Regional Supervisor, some projects may be scheduled for OTC review when the Estimated Review Hours exceed the qualifying criterion for a single discipline. In this case, the project may be taken in for review after the other disciplines complete their reviews at the OTC appointment.
The In-Office OTC Schedule is as follows:
Sacramento Office | Los Angeles (L.A.) Office | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Tuesdays | North Region | Schedule an OTC Review w/the North Region | North L.A. Region | Schedule an OTC Review w/the North L.A. Region |
