Lucity's Work Permits module enables an agency to document official authorizations for public works projects. This data helps to ensure the safety of the work and its compliance with relevant codes.
Along with basic application details, you can:
add checklists and fees;
pinpoint locations associated with each permit;
track related written, verbal or electronic communications; and
record contact information should enforcement action become necessary.
What's more, you can also link Permit records to related Asset, Inspection, Work Order, PM/Template,and Construction Site Inventory records in Lucity.
