"Checklist for Gaining Approval for Alternative Designs, Materials and 
Methods of Construction

Planning and Preparing for the Approval Process

Start early. The first rule is to recognize that getting approval is a 
process. Identify as many of the non-standard aspects of the project as 
early as possible, giving yourself and the building department a long lead 
time to address these. No one, building officials included, likes to be 
hurried or pressured. Your perfectly innocent sense of urgency may be 
interpreted as a suspect need for rushed approvals. They will need time to 
digest and respond to the material you present in support of the 
alternatives you are proposing; expect a number of exchanges as questions or 
concerns are raised."
