Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services is hiring staff to speed up the approval process for daycare and education buildings.
The DSPS Division of Industry Services conducts more than 1,000 plan reviews each month for commercial buildings, plumbing systems, septic systems, and elevators. They also review school building projects and Secretary-designee Dan Hereth announced the department will hire three people to implement the Raid Review Plan.
“This is going to allow us to turn around plan reviews for school and child care projects in two weeks or less, roughly twice as fast as the normal building review process,” said Hereth. “Dedicating these positions allows us to expedite these projects and move them forward as quickly as possible, for the benefit of children and families across the state.”
“School or education building projects tend to be on tight timelines given the amount of time they are occupied each year,” said DIS Administrator Branden Piper. “Delays can disrupt school or child care operations, and this directly affects Wisconsin children and their families. We want to take the steps we can to minimize the potential for delay, so we are prioritizing those reviews by dedicating these positions.”
