Construction Permit Application

City planners and applicants have to collaborate over numerous complex paper documents in the evaluation of each initiative, a process filled with red tape for both parties.

- User-friendly digital form with customizable fields
- Easy upload and organization of accompanying documentation
- Automatic case creation and routing to appropriate staff for review
- Seamless collaboration among city planners and applicants, regardless of location
- Automation of repetitive, bureaucratic tasks
