Online Application Portal: The system should provide an online platform where applicants can submit their building plans and permit applications. This portal should include forms and templates that guide applicants through the submission process, ensuring that all necessary information is provided.
​
Document Management: The system should have robust document management capabilities to securely store and organize building plans, permit applications, and related documentation. It should allow for efficient retrieval and tracking of documents throughout the review and inspection processes.
​
Workflow Management: The system should automate the workflow of the building plan review process. It should track the status of each application, assign tasks to relevant personnel, and notify applicants and stakeholders about the progress and status of their applications.
​
Plan Review: The system should enable efficient and effective review of building plans by relevant departments and individuals within the local government. It should facilitate collaboration and communication among reviewers, allowing them to provide comments, make revisions, and track their review progress.
​
Permit Issuance: Once the building plans have been reviewed and approved, the system should generate permits for the construction project. These permits may include building permits, electrical permits, plumbing permits, and other necessary permits based on the scope of the project.
​
Inspection Scheduling and Tracking: The system should enable applicants and inspectors to schedule and track inspections throughout the construction process. It should provide an online calendar or booking system where applicants can select available time slots for their inspections.
​
Mobile Inspections: Inspectors should have access to a mobile application or portal to conduct on-site inspections and record their findings in real-time. This would include capturing photos, documenting compliance issues, and generating inspection reports through handheld devices.
​
Compliance Management: The system should facilitate the tracking and management of compliance with building codes and regulations. It should provide mechanisms for recording and resolving violations, initiating enforcement actions if necessary, and maintaining an accurate compliance history for each construction project.
​
Data Analytics and Reporting: The system should have data analytics capabilities to generate reports and analyze trends in building plan applications, inspection results, and compliance data. This can assist local government authorities in identifying areas for improvement, monitoring compliance rates, and making data-driven decisions.
​
Customer Support and Communication: The system should provide customer support to applicants and stakeholders throughout the application and inspection processes. It should include a helpline, email support, or in-person assistance to address queries, provide guidance, and ensure a clear understanding of the requirements and procedures.

Building Plan Management
-
Applications: The building plan application is submitted via a portal to the municipality. The municipality then uses the workflow functionality to distribute the building plan application and all of its supporting documents to the various stakeholders that must give comments on the application.
-
Complaints: The community may lodge a complaint about a specific property in the municipal are. The complaint will be sent to the inspector responsible for that region. The complaint inspection will be resolved by the inspector.
Trends in Building control
Integration with IoT devices used in building control systems. This allows users to monitor and control various aspects of building operations, such as HVAC, lighting, and security systems, through a centralized platform.
The integration of advanced technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and internet of things (IoT) is rapidly transforming building control. These technologies enable more efficient monitoring, automation, and predictive maintenance of building systems, resulting in enhanced energy efficiency, cost savings, and improved occupant comfort and safety.
The concept of smart buildings is gaining traction in the construction industry. Smart buildings leverage IoT, sensors, and data analytics to optimize energy consumption, improve operational efficiency, and enable better control over building systems. Through real-time data monitoring and analysis, smart buildings can automatically adjust lighting, temperature, and ventilation systems to meet occupants' needs while minimizing energy waste.
The adoption of building automation controls is increasing, driven by the need for centralized and simplified control of building systems. Building automation controls encompass various systems, including lighting controls, HVAC systems, access control, and fire protection systems. These controls automate routine tasks, improve energy efficiency, and enable remote monitoring and management of building systems.
