Adding or replacing a drive approach in Plano is a permitted job with two city checks: a pre-pour driveway inspection and a final building inspection. The application needs two copies of the site plan, so ask who prepares them, and expect no pour until the pre-pour inspection is passed.

Hold any bid against Plano's drawing for the street approach: 12 to 24 feet wide, at least 6 inches thick, 3,000 PSI concrete, #3 steel at 24 inches on center and subgrade compacted to 95%. A quote for a thinner approach isn't built to the city's standard.

The company that pulls an Engineering permit for work at the street has to be registered with that department for the current year and carry insurance that meets the city's right-of-way ordinance. Ask to see both before you sign.
