Greenwood Village additions and whole-home remodels.

The 2018 International Residential Code, with the 2017 National Electrical Code – the oldest cycle of any jurisdiction we work in. Englewood, Littleton, Denver, Arvada, Wheat Ridge and Castle Rock are all on the 2024 cycle and Centennial is on 2021, so that is a seven-year spread across a short drive. Plans drawn for a neighbouring city are not automatically valid here. A separate city ordinance and code section exist that we could not read directly, so we confirm the current edition with the Building Division before drawing.

The outside agencies, not usually the city. Residential submittals require South Metro Fire and Rescue approval as a named layer, plus separate stormwater, sewer and water connection permits, and a conditional landscape and irrigation plan. Greenwood Village’s own checklist also instructs applicants to obtain HOA approval where the property is in an HOA-governed area. We schedule those at the front of the programme rather than chasing them at the end.

The city publishes 15 business days for residential single-family and additions, 10 business days for standard plan review, and 3 business days where no plan review is required. It also publishes its own disclaimer advising applicants to verify with the Building and Planning Divisions, so we plan to those numbers but do not promise them.
