Can construction of a new skilled nursing facility begin while plans are under review?

The correct answer is that construction is not permissible while plans are under review. In the context of building a skilled nursing facility, regulations are put in place to ensure safety, compliance with health codes, and adherence to zoning laws. During the review process, authorities evaluate whether the proposed plans meet all necessary standards. Commencing construction before obtaining the necessary approvals can lead to significant legal issues, regulatory penalties, and potential hazards if the construction does not align with the approved designs or codes. Therefore, construction must wait until all plans are finalized and officially approved to ensure compliance and protect the interests of residents and stakeholders.
