Detroit does not offer a formal expedited permit review program through its Buildings, Safety, Engineering & Environmental Department (BSEED). All commercial permits—whether for new construction, renovations, or trades—go through the standard plan review process via the eLaps and ePlans systems. However, the city does offer pre-plan consultation meetings, which can help resolve potential issues before submission and reduce review time.
