The effective management of building plan applications represents an aspect of municipal service delivery that has direct impact on local investment and employment opportunities. Building plan applications fall into the following categories: 

New applications, Resubmissions, Amendments and ‘As built’ amendments

By law, all applications have to be finalised within 30 days. Considering the number of people involved from different municipal departments, combined with the geographic distance between municipal offices, this task often represents a formidable challenge to municipalities where no suitable IT systems are in place. This in turn leads to large and increasing backlogs of applications, excessive response times, dissatisfaction among applicants and ultimately in the loss of investment, employment opportunities and revenue for affected municipalities.
