According to a 2002 publication by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development titled Electronic Permitting Systems and How to Implement Them, “Electronic construction permitting is changing the way communities across the nation do business, speeding the building permit process for the people most involved – builders, inspectors, and plan reviewers…”
Despite the misleading claims that electronic permitting is quicker, easier, and more transparent, the reality is that the systems are bogged down by increased traffic causing slow upload speed and lags. Review times have not improved, and it’s nearly impossible to get in contact with the right people.
Powered by VRA, our exclusive access to automated review tools provide our clients with an electronic permitting upper hand at the time of permit submittal which alleviates review delays and translates to less wasted time all-around.
