The pattern

The rollout is the risk,
not the software.

Permitting replacements in this market routinely run twelve to eighteen months and cost one to two times the annual license before a single permit is issued. Several large jurisdictions have publicly documented implementations that stalled, restarted, or were abandoned after multi-year effort. The failure is rarely a missing feature — it is scope discovered late, data migration that outlasts the budget, and a plan-review tool bolted on through a connector nobody owns.

What is actually different

Four claims we would defend in an RFP response.

01

Plan review lives inside the case, not beside it

Markup, versioned resubmittals, per-department pins, and the consolidated correction letter are all part of the permit record. There is no Bluebeam or Avolve connector between two systems to drift, expire, or lose a comment on the way back.

  • Switch between submission versions with every cycle's comments still attached.
  • One correction letter assembled from every department, in the city's own template.
  • Every comment is attributable to a reviewer, a sheet, and a version.

02

One applicant identity across every jurisdiction

An architect who works in six cities keeps one account, one license record, and one dashboard. Contractors stop re-registering, re-uploading insurance, and re-learning a portal per city — which is why they ask their next city to adopt it.

Genuinely two-sided: the city gets the workflow, the applicant gets continuity.

03

Shot-clock timers your city attorney can rely on

Statutory review deadlines in Florida, California, Georgia, and Texas carry deemed-approved consequences. The clock is durable, pauses correctly the moment the ball is in the applicant's court, resumes on resubmittal, and escalates before a review is at risk.

Two voices, one system.

Staff screens run dense and information-rich. Applicant screens run calm and plain-language, one action at a time. Same platform, same data, deliberately different.

Staff intake queue: submitted cases oldest first, with counts for awaiting acceptance, in review, corrections out, and clock overdue.
Staff — intake queueDense table, tabular numerals, every deadline visible without a click.
