Electronic Plan Review for Building and Planning Departments
After Centuries of Paper, the Paradigm Has Shifted
The construction plan review process has always been paper-intensive, costly, time-consuming and, often, complicated. But with ProjectDox, the entire process is simplified and easier to manage.
Once the permit application is submitted, ProjectDox invites the applicant to upload drawing files to the review department securely over the Internet. Once safely in ProjectDox, all review department personnel that need to work on approving the plans are notified automatically and the digital review process begins. Applicants are notified when re-submission is required and the process repeats itself until final approval. Inspectors can also access ProjectDox projects and drawings to make notes for updates to approved plans that become as-builts. Upon completion, ProjectDox can export the project to archive or to an EDMS system.
The ProjectDox Workflow Engine, working with intelligent electronic Forms, automates and guides the Review and Approval process, from initial project creation and plan review to the finishing touches on the As-Built drawings.
With ProjectDox, simple and highly complex workflows can be created and customized to meet the business process needs of any jurisdiction.
Important documents are never lost, misplaced or delayed. All project information is kept in one location, and each review department can interact with it anytime, from anywhere that has Internet access. ProjectDox also makes it easy for review personnel to work together with the citizen-applicant during the process. When permission is granted, ProjectDox provides the citizen with the convenience of self-service access when inquiring about the review status or checking for updates.
Summing it up, ProjectDox enables any Building or Planning department to significantly reduce paper and plan review times, increase accuracy, and provide better customer service.
