Illinois requirements that change the estimate
Code basis
Illinois has no statewide building code for most private construction; municipalities adopt codes locally, Chicago enforces its own Chicago Construction Codes, and the Illinois Energy Conservation Code applies statewide.
Energy code climate zones
Energy code climate zones in Illinois run roughly 4–5 on the 2021 IECC map. The zone for the project county sets insulation, glazing and equipment efficiency requirements.
Prevailing wage on public work
Illinois has a state prevailing-wage law for public works. On covered public projects, labor is priced at the applicable wage determination rather than open-market rates, so tell us whether the job is public and which determination applies.
Plan Review considerations for Naperville
Cold, snowy winters in the north, hot summers, severe-storm exposure statewide, and New Madrid seismic influence in the far south. Apply these notes only when the project documents support them.
New Madrid seismic zone: structural steel and metals
Where the Seismic Design Category is elevated, lateral systems and connection detailing follow AISC 341 requirements shown on the drawings.
Frost depth
Frost depth is moderate, commonly in the 30–42 in. range, which sets minimum footing depth and foundation wall height on most sites. Footing depth, stem-wall height and the matching formwork and backfill are measured to the frost depth shown on the drawings; if the drawings are silent, we flag it rather than assume.
Snow loads and cold-weather work: concrete
Freeze-thaw exposure usually means air-entrained mixes for exterior flatwork and walls, plus cold-weather protection such as blankets, heat and enclosures that we carry as separate lines.
Severe storms, hail and tornadoes: roofing
Hail-prone areas favor impact-rated shingles or thicker membranes and coverboards, which changes both material and labor.
When to choose plan review

1. Establish the issue set
Compare the sheet index, addenda and specifications so missing or superseded documents are identified.
2. Record scope conflicts
Reference the affected sheets, the estimating consequence and a proposed clarification question.
3. Close the pricing gaps
Distinguish answered RFIs from unresolved items that still need exclusions or allowances.
