The traditional building permitting process is time-consuming and requires multiple manual steps that can cause delays and push projects off schedule. The Accela’s Civic Application can simplify and automate permitting process steps—cutting turnaround times by as much as 50%.
Traditional vs. Digital Permitting: A Time-Saving Transformation
In a traditional system, builders drive to an office to submit paper applications, wait for permit fees to be calculated, and endure long review periods. With Accela’s digital process, applications are completed and submitted online 24/7, fees are calculated automatically, and plans are reviewed electronically. The result? Faster approvals, fewer manual steps, and real-time access to project status updates.
Key Benefits of Going Digital
- Online Access: Builders submit applications anytime, anywhere.
- Automated Fee Calculations: No manual handling or processing delays.
- Simultaneous Plan Reviews: Multiple reviewers can share, mark up, and approve plans online. Changes are applied in real-time.
- Efficient Inspections: Inspectors use mobile devices to access real-time information in the field, eliminating back-and-forth trips to the office.
