About This Automation

Planning and regulatory submissions require compiling drawing sets, verifying zoning figures, and filing paperwork with local authorities. Doing this by hand across multiple documents invites errors and slows down project milestones.

An automated version assembles the drawing set, checks compliance, and routes the package for approval and filing. This shortens the path from milestone to filed submission and reduces rework from missed errors.

Key features
Compiles the current drawing set automatically from project files
Cross-checks zoning figures against the jurisdiction's code table
Flags compliance issues directly on the drawing set for review
Routes the marked-up set for internal sign-off before filing
Fills application forms and uploads the complete package to the submission portal
Posts status updates as the review progresses

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Project Reaches Permit Milestonetrigger

The project's status flags when it hits the permit or planning submission stage.

2. Compile Drawing Set & Check Zoning

The automation pulls the latest drawing files, assembles the submission set, and cross-checks zoning figures against the local code table.

3. Generate Compliance Markup

The automation annotates the drawing set with compliance notes and flags any figures needing correction before it reaches the principal.

4. Send For Signature

The marked-up set and zoning summary route to the studio principal for review and e-signature.

5. Revise Drawings If Rejected

If the principal rejects the package, the flagged items route back to a person for correction before re-submission.

6. Prepare Application Package

The automation fills the jurisdiction's application forms using project details from the drawing set and zoning check.

7. Upload Package

The finished submission package uploads automatically to the project's portal record.

8. Post Status Update

A confirmation with submission details and portal link posts to the project's channel.
