FPD&C is mandated to enforce building, life-safety, and accessibility codes for all campus construction projects (State University Administrative Manual 9232). All design and construction must be in compliance with the latest edition of the California Building Code (CBC). A Building Permit is required whenever a building or structure is erected, constructed, enlarged, repaired, improved, removed, converted, or demolished (CBC Section 106).
No physical work may be initiated without a permit approved by the campus Deputy Building Official. The Deputy Building Official is a campus-appointed individual responsible for campus-specific building code administrative and operational control. This individual acts as a deputy under the authority of the CSU Building Official, who is responsible for the overall administration and operational control of the building code.
All campus departments, auxiliaries, vendors, or students proposing to undertake construction projects with their own funds must have their project reviewed and approved by FPD&C, and have a Building Permit issued before soliciting bids for construction of the project. Building Permits are required for any contractor working on campus (not under the direction of Facilities Services and/or Facilities Planning, Design and Construction).
In order for FPDC to efficiently plan all non-project related moves using contracted or internal resources, and ensure that chargeable moves are being properly billed to requestors, please follow some guidelines listed below.
