How it works

How it works

Everything hangs off the plan check, so status, deliveries and billing never have to be reconstructed. Here is the whole loop.

  1. Step 1

    Log the submittal

    Create the plan check when plans arrive: SFA plan check number, agency plan check number, job address, valuation and client.

  2. Step 2

    Route reviews

    Add a plan review per discipline and assign each one to a plan checker. Each review cycle gets the next check number.

  3. Step 3

    Record the verdict

    Close each review with a verdict: accepted, not accepted or unresolved. A not-accepted verdict leads to a resubmittal and a new review cycle.

  4. Step 4

    Log deliveries

    Record every hand-off of plans or comments: the recipient, the delivery method and, for couriers, a tracking number.

  5. Step 5

    Bill against the plan check

    Add invoice details (type, quantity, rate, total) to the plan check that earned them, then group them on invoices for the client.

  6. Step 6

    Keep the client informed

    The portal shows each plan check’s status, derived from its data: final approval, the latest verdict and later deliveries. Clients and staff talk in the plan check’s message thread.
