Save time and drastically improve the building consent process with an efficient and intuitive online platform.
AlphaOne provides an online customer portal that can be integrated with your existing council website. Deliver all the forms and tools your customers need to submit high-quality applications every time. The portal offers the ability for applicants to track and comment on each of their applications at anytime, reducing the number of queries coming into council.
Save time with the ability to search, load and edit applications with ease. Assess each project with customised checklists. Enjoy simple automation for RFI. Ensure timely delivery with the statutory clock that works in accordance with building regulations.
Every application is issued with a unique email address, ensuring all correspondence is centralised and nothing is missed.
Customers can be automatically invoiced and make deposit payments directly via the customer portal, with integrations to solutions such as Windcave.
Stay ahead of the process with customised or auto-generated checklists that can be adapted to all types of building work. Questions marked with Fail will generate a Request for Information (RFI) form pre-defined with standard responses. This automatically stops the process clock which will resume on receipt of information.
AlphaOne includes an automated ‘statutory clock,’ allowing you to keep track of every minute spent on application and ensuring you stay within the mandated 20 working days. Record all decisions electronically, demonstrating exactly how the building code compliance was achieved.
Easily manage application files and integrate with Objective Trapeze to annotate and stamp plans, as well as view specifications. AlphaOne also includes an API, that enables information to flow seamlessly into your existing ERP and EDRMS solution.
Reduce manual processes as building consents are already formatted in accordance with Building Regulations. Stop the ‘Statutory Clock’ once a decision has been made to grant, and automatically produce project-specific and accurate invoices every time.
Make every inspection easy, with the AlphaOne mobile inspection app – offering both online and offline capability. Effortlessly answer questions with Pass, Fail or Not Applicable, as well as assist the inspector to demonstrate how they are satisfied on reasonable grounds that compliance is achieved.
Save processing times by providing a notice in-person on site. A fail automatically creates a template that can be further customised to the situation on the ground, indicating if a re-inspection is required. It can contain additional time stamped auditable notes, a RFI, or result in a formal directive.
Add inspection notes while onsite and rest assured they are instantly added to the application back at council, as soon as you have a Wi-Fi connection. Manage project contacts, Licensed Building Practitioner and required documents directly from your mobile device.
Have all of the information you need at your fingertips. Access all previous records of inspections, plus customer communications from the inspection app.
Know how your team is reporting and stay compliant with your Statutory Reporting requirements. All KPIs are delivered via easy to read and exec-ready reports. Generate monthly tables suitable for reporting to Council and create tables of Building Consents & CCC for StatsNZ reporting.
Dashboard reporting generates on screen capacity reporting in real-time. Predict the future with workload projections.
With a single click, generate detailed audit reports covering all aspects of a job or consent, ensuring you know who did what and when.
Look across all applications within a given time period to see which developers produce the most RFIs and need some further education. Also use the AlphaOne ‘On Demand’ reporting tool to customise reports with the information that is important to you
