Construction Permit and Compliance Management

Start of the Workflow/Process.

Retrieve existing property data (address, zone, owner) from the Property Data Model to pre-fill the permit application.

Create a new entry in the 'Permit Applications' data model to track the lifecycle of the new request.

Update the status of the permit entry from 'Draft' to 'Submitted' once all required documents are uploaded.

Create a task for the Engineering Department to begin the technical review of the architectural blueprints.

Create a task for the Field Inspector to visit the construction site for compliance verification.

Get all required compliance items from the 'Regulation Library' based on the specific building type.

Update the Permit Entry with the notes and pass/fail result from the site inspector.

Calculate the total permit fee based on the square footage and building type variables (e.g., area * rate_per_sqft).

Update the Permit Entry with the payment confirmation and transaction ID after successful billing.

Create a new entry in the 'Certificates' data model once all inspections are marked as 'Passed'.

Send an automated email to the property owner/contractor notifying them that the permit has been issued.

Send an SMS alert to the site contractor 24 hours before the scheduled inspection time.

Aggregate all unpaid 'Invoices' related to this permit to check for any remaining balance.

Delete temporary draft entries that were abandoned or failed initial validation.

Generate a monthly summary report showing the number of approved vs. rejected permits and average processing time.

End of the Workflow/Process.
