How Archelo helps review a permit.
A report, several drawings, rules from different authorities and successive versions, connected so the team can focus on what needs judgement.
- 01 / Organise
Organise the documents.
Classify documents, identify versions and flag gaps against the approved checklist for each procedure.
- 02 / Verify
Check the regulations.
Link the proposal to the applicable plan and regulations, showing what each check relies on and where data is missing.
- 03 / Prepare
Prepare reports and requests.
Structure findings and draft reports that reference the affected document, drawing or requirement.
- 04 / Follow up
Follow up resubmissions.
Compare the documents submitted after a resubmission and keep the full history of comments.
