Due Diligence Session- Q & A Service


a.k.a. Free Fishing Expedition


   

Process Description  

The Due Diligence Q & A Service provides clients with an opportunity to discuss potential site plan projects with multi-departmental staff members prior to processing development plans.  The Due Diligence service is scheduled at no cost to our clients. This service attempts to address a need that may not be met with the current Pre-Submittal Conference.  The new service is offered to clients that request a question and answer session with key staff to discover potential problem areas that may arise if they proceed to develop site plans on a specific piece of property.  These free sessions will guide clients prior to developing a plan for the property and are for Q & A only.

See the City of Raleigh Development Services Glossary for any unfamiliar terms.

Exceptions to the process:

  • Once a client has development plans, then the session no longer qualifies for a free Q & A session and it would become necessary for the client to schedule a Pre-Submittal Conference
  • Building code issues will continue to be addressed through e-mail to individual reviewers and does not require a scheduled group discussion 

 

Are there any prerequisites to this process?

  • Remember to have the Property Identification Number (PIN) available before calling to schedule your session.  If you do not know the PIN, contact the Wake County Register of Deeds for assistance
  • Client should have a general idea of the project scope prior to the session
