PROTOTYPE CONCEPT

A permit and inspection workflow that keeps every file moving.

A public-sector concept for application intake, document completeness, staff review, inspections, approvals, comments, and applicant status updates.

Permits and inspections Illustrative prototype, not completed client work
Context

The operational gap

Permit files can move through many people, documents, revisions, inspections, and decisions. Without a shared workflow, applicants ask for status updates while staff manually reconstruct what happened.

Concept interface

Prototype screen

The concept presents a traceable permit file with document checklist, review status, inspection scheduling, comments, and approval history.

Outcomes

Possible outcomes
