At the end of this program, participants will be able to:
•  Understand the differences between discretionary entitlements and
ministerial entitlements, and what that means for project approval
strategies.
•  Develop an understanding of principles and strategies for use of the
Alternate Materials and Means Request (AMMR) process in
navigating permit approvals
•  Improve cooperation and dialogue between plan review
professionals and design professionals to allow for great efficiency,
better work product, improved code compliance, and reduced
professional liability exposure.

•  Engage design professionals as effective and innovative partners in
the code and regulatory arenas in which they work.
This session will cover principles and strategy for effective
navigation of the building permit process when materials or designs
don’t comfortably fit with conventional code application, as well as
the use of permit streamlining for more effective and efficient
processing.

Alternate Materials and Means Requests (AMMR) can be used for
various reasons including: use of innovative products and systems,
new design concepts, complex geometries, code conundrums,
political problem solving and the resolution of interpretation
differences. Successful project examples will be used to
demonstrate how to approach the AMMR process and demystify
the concept of an alternate design. In addition, the landscape of
permit streamlining concepts will be outlined, with a focus on
streamlining approaches that can engage design professionals on
the ‘public’ side of the counter in a project's ultimate success.
