Partnership objectives focus on reducing procurement barriers, increasing market visibility, and advancing digital plan review innovation
Brea, CA and Phoenix, AZ – The International Code Council Conformity Assessment Group (ICC-CAG) and Avolve Software announced a strategic collaboration framework aimed at expanding access to digital plan review services for jurisdictions while increasing collaboration, visibility, and innovation across both organizations’ customer ecosystems.
Under this collaboration, ICC-CAG will support Avolve’s DigEplan™ solution as the foundational digital engine behind ICC’s contracted plan review services, enabling jurisdictions to access a proven, streamlined technology platform for efficient, consistent, and code‑aligned plan review.
An additional key objective of the collaboration is to lower barriers to adopting ICC’s plan review services by simplifying procurement and contracting processes. This includes offering ICC services under Avolve’s existing contracting framework where appropriate, as well as leveraging Avolve’s cooperative purchasing relationships to streamline jurisdictional procurement.
“At ICC, collaboration drives how we support communities and clients”, says Steven Saffell, Vice President of Construction Services, ICC NTA. “By working with Avolve, we’re combining trusted code expertise with proven digital tools to deliver plan review and permitting that is better, safer, and faster. From ongoing guidance to surge support on complex projects like data centers, ICC experts are available to help Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) modernize services, simplify procurement, and advance technology‑enabled code compliance.”
“When ICC selected DigEplan to support its own plan review services, it reinforced the growing demand for a purpose-built regulatory compliant approach to plan review in local government,” said Derek Porter, SVP of Business Development at Avolve. “By combining ICC’s trusted code expertise with Avolve’s digita review platform, we’re not only helping jurisdictions modernize operations, but also making it easier for agencies to access ICC’s third-party plan review services through a more streamlined experience. We’re helping agencies respond more effectively to increasing review volumes, staffing pressures, and the growing demand for faster turnaround times.”
Together, ICC and Avolve aim to advance the modernization of plan review and permitting services by improving access to proven digital tools, simplifying procurement for jurisdictions, and amplifying thought leadership around technology‑enabled code compliance.

Phoenix, AZ and Nashville, TN May 14, 2026 – Avolve, the leader in electronic plan review, and Intuitive Municipal Solutions (iMS), a leading modern Community Development Software, announces a native integration between iMS and Avolve’s DigEplan electronic plan review solution. Local government agencies need workflow automation that improves speed without sacrificing control, transparency, or reviewer judgment; this integration reduces handoffs and creates a more connected review process from permit intake through approval.
The new native connection opens files submitted in iMS directly in Avolve DigEplan for markups and intake quality checks while reviewers’ comments and status updates write back to the matching permit record in iMS in real time. The result is a single authoritative permit record, reduced manual steps and resubmittals, and shortened review cycles while keeping applicants, reviewers, and staff in systems they already use. For agencies that already use or prefer Avolve ProjectDox, the iMS integration continues to support that workflow, while the new DigEplan integration extends customer choice and keeps the process tightly connected from intake through approval.
“Bringing DigEplan directly into iMS was built around what development services teams do every day,” said Vance Bradshaw, President, Intuitive Municipal Solutions. “This integration eliminates duplicate data entry and rework, preserves a single authoritative permit record, and lets staff spend more time on high-value review work instead of coordination. It is a practical step toward faster approvals and a better experience for applicants and jurisdictions alike.”
Agencies benefit from fewer duplicate steps and clearer communications because iMS’s workflow engine manages review sequencing and proactive notifications natively, helping reduce resubmittals and speed reviews. iMS maintains its long-standing Avolve ProjectDox integration for agencies already on that workflow, while the new DigEplan integration extends customer choice for agencies moving to that platform with a tightly coupled, turnkey experience and focused implementation support.
Partnerships like this are strongest when they create real customer and community outcomes,” said George Mastakas, Chief Growth Officer, Avolve. “By bringing DigEplan directly into the workflows agencies already use, we’re helping create a more connected experience for staff and applicants while extending the value of our platform. It also shows how Avolve’s roadmap is built to deliver practical innovation through trusted partners, giving customers more flexibility, more choice, and more impact across the broader workflow.
With Avolve and iMS, agencies gain a future-ready platform that scales with demand, lowers total cost of ownership, and delivers a transparent, applicant-friendly experience from submission to approved plans.

Digital Projects Plan Review Capability Now Embedded Directly in Centricity Citizen Portal for Trimble Unity and Cityworks® Agencies
PHOENIX, Arizona and CEDAR HILLS, Utah —September 24, 2025 — Avolve, a leading provider of AI-powered plan review solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with Centricity GIS to embed Avolve’s plan review technology directly into the Centricity Citizen Portal for Trimble Unity and Cityworks® users. This collaboration gives government agencies a smoother way to bring advanced plan review into their existing portal workflows—without additional platforms or disruption.
With over 20 years of experience in enterprise permitting, asset management and GIS services, Centricity provides a cloud-based portal that enables citizens, contractors, and staff to request permits, manage applications, and schedule inspections within their Trimble Unity Permit and Cityworks® PLL environments. Optimizing with the DigEplan Digital Projects new integration brings automated pre-submission checks and advanced plan review capabilities directly into this workflow. From within the Centricity Citizen Portal, users can now flag missing information and route clean plan sets to start plan review, reducing manual steps and speeding up approval cycles.
“Many government software providers excel at building standalone solutions, but this often forces agencies to juggle multiple systems, duplicate data entry, and manage complex handoffs between platforms,” said Becky, Chief Technology and Product Officer at Avolve. “Avolve and Centricity approached this differently by embedding specialized plan review functionality inside the Centricity portal infrastructure that agencies trust and use every day, ensuring continuity and an improved experience for applicants and a seamless solution for Cityworks and Trimble Unity customers.”
When applicants submit plans through the Centricity portal, DigEplan’s Digital Projects seamlessly handles the review workflow. Citizens upload documents, reviewers access markup tools, and approvals flow back—all through the familiar portal interface. Every action syncs to the agency’s database, keeping permit records in one place.
Avolve’s recently launched AI Submit capability adds even more efficiency to the plan review process. Utilizing AI technology, it automatically checks uploaded plans for common issues like missing sheet references, incomplete title blocks, or other submission standards before a human reviewer sees them. Catching these issues early and enabling AI to support efficiency, helps agencies avoid back-and-forth delays that can often slow down approvals by weeks.
Current Centricity portal customers can gain immediate access to professional electronic plan review without deploying new systems. The DigEplan Digital Projects integration upgrades their existing Centricity portal into a full featured permitting platform, adding substantial value to their Centricity investment while keeping their Unity Permit and Cityworks PLL workflows intact.
“Our customers have been asking how to add advanced plan review without disrupting their workflows,” said Brandon Wright, President of Centricity GIS. “This integration gives them exactly that—powerful functionality that fits seamlessly into their current permitting operations. Unity and Cityworks customers still managing plan review separately can now tackle two modernization goals at once. Whether they need a citizen-facing permit portal, electronic plan review, or both, this integrated solution works with their existing Unity and Cityworks setups.”
The DigEplan Digital Projects integration is now available to all Centricity Citizen Portal customers using Cityworks PLL or Unity Permit. Current DigEplan and Cityworks users can activate the workflow with minimal setup. For demonstrations, contact [email protected]. For Centricity portal details, reach out to [email protected].
