Martinez Unveils New System To Expedite Construction Permitting Process

Governor Susana Martinez today unveiled a state-of-the-art electronic plan review system that will expedite the approval of construction, design, and architectural plans by the state’s Construction Industries Division. Currently, all plans are required to be sent by mail or hand delivered for manual reviews and approvals at CID offices in Santa Fe, Albuquerque, and Las Cruces. The new system will allow businesses to submit their proposals online for a faster review process that will save both time and money. “Every day delayed at a construction site translates to lost wages for workers, lost revenues for local communities and potentially increased costs for contractors, subcontractors and suppliers,” said Governor Martinez. “Instead of requiring businesses to wait out a manual review process, this new system will allow them to instantly submit their proposals for consideration by the state’s permitting agency. It will save time and money for homeowners, builders, developers and contractors by speeding up the permitting and approval process by simply pushing the send button on a computer.”  “We want to send a loud and clear message to the construction industry in our state and across the country – we’re open for business and we aim to help them grow and prosper. Rather than standing in the way of success and economic growth, we should be doing everything we can to promote it,” Governor Martinez continued.
