Approved Pre-Check (PC) Designs
Locate resources on the Division of the State Architect’s (DSA) pre-check (PC) approval program that permits DSA approval of the design of a structure in advance of submittal for K–12 schools, community college and essential services construction projects.
The Pre-Check (PC) approval process is intended to streamline DSA plan review by providing a procedure for approving the design of commonly used structures prior to the submittal of plans to DSA for construction projects. The PC approval process allows designers to incorporate designs for structures that have already been “pre-checked” by DSA into their plans for actual site-specific construction projects.
APPROVED PRE-CHECK (PC) LIST
The list of PC approved designs is provided as a courtesy by DSA that may be incorporated by school districts in preparation of a site-specific project and is updated on a monthly basis.
