Electronic Plans Review
Manage plan review from submission to approval
Paper-based plan review creates delays at every stage, from intake to markup to final sign-off. CityView Electronic Plans Review replaces that process with a digital workflow that connects submission, circulation, markup and approval in one place.
Reviewers can circulate, mark up and compare documents using CityView and Bluebeam® with submissions coming in directly through CityView Portal. Documents move from application to issuance without leaving the system.
“It’s kind of crazy, what we used to do to process plan reviews, compared to how simple it is now.”
Kelly Stadnyk,
City of Leduc, Alberta
Adopting a paperless plan review process
The City of Leduc, Alberta, transitioned to a near paperless plan review process by implementing CityView Electronic Plans Review, which uses the award-winning PDF creation, editing, markup and collaboration technology of Bluebeam® software.
Enhance efficiency with digital plan submission and tracking
Increase speed and ease of submission
- Save time and money and eliminate the need for multiple paper copies (and their storage) with a digital plan review process. The CityView Portal allows residents, contractors and design professionals to directly upload their electronic documents and plans to your development departments.
Track documents from submission to approval
- Documents are stored in a central document repository with CityView. Once verified, they can easily be shared, reviewed, markedup with Bluebeam® Revu® and changes tracked. This integration facilitates a completely paperless workflow from permit application through to issuance and ultimately to the final Certificate of Occupancy.
Optimize service
- For many local governments, the process of managing traditional hard-copy submitted plans and utilizing a dated plan review workflow causes delays, errors and inefficiencies. Concurrent digital markups with other reviewers, designers or contractors allow for a faster, more consistent review cycle.
