During 2009, Target Corporation individually and in collaboration through the FIATECH Streamlining Project successfully initiated a national campaign to advance electronic plan review of building design packages and single plan reviews by jurisdictions of replicable buildings. This effort entailed developing a pilot demonstration of a streamlined and single plan review for a minor building renovation throughout the entire chain of Target stores and selecting jurisdictions within two geographical regions, the Mid-Atlantic Region (especially the city of Philadelphia) and the state of California to accept a single plan review conducted by an approved third party agency or International Code Council and documenting the time savings to Target from those single plan reviews for multiple stores.

In addition, this project involved establishing within FIATECH Roadmap's Streamlining Project a work committee comprised of 32 representatives from other ‘big box stores’ and replicable building firms including Home Depot, Marriott Corporation, Arby’s, and Habitat for Humanity, state and local governments and the International Code Council to draft an ICC Guideline that allows local building officials to approve single plan reviews for such structures built within their region. In late October the above work group produced and presented to the ICC for its consideration the draft ICC Guideline for Replicable Buildings. On November 2, 2009 the ICC Board of Directors accepted the draft Guideline and appointed the members of the FIATECH work group to serve as ICC’s Replicable Building Guideline development Committee. On December 18, 2009, the ICC Guideline Committee produced a final Guideline for distribution to ICC members for national adoption and use in early 2010.
