1) Have you an ordinance supporting your request that allows paper only submittals? You do not need an ordinance to allow electronic submittals as long as you will still accept paper copies if drawn that way. The vast majority of drawings are done electronically and after 4 years no one has ever insisted on providing paper copies.
2) Do the projects have a set of approved paper plans at the site to view? We have the approved plans on our i-pads which the inspector can access in the field and if the worker in the field does not have them onsite the inspector can e-mail them to him directly while standing next to him. The i-pads have a data plan for internet access at all times
3) Are you seeing or not seeing plan addendums and change orders on projects? How's that handled? They are submitted electronically and placed into the approved drawings after review
