Construction Permit Applications
Conduct the entire building development application process remotely!.
Allow property owners and developers to submit plans for new projects—and city planners to collaborate with them and each other—online.
Challenge

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.

- 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
