Business workflow and operating scope

Coordinate approved building work, inspection scheduling, defect resolution and authorised occupancy administration. Inspection scheduling, defect evidence and final approval can become fragmented across permit and field records. The system follows the administrative journey from approved building work to an occupancy decision, preserving the responsible inspector's findings and the evidence used to resolve defects.

  • Corrective actions require owners and due dates.
  • Evidence must remain linked to the inspected object or process.
  • Release status must be blocked when mandatory requirements remain open.
  • Jurisdiction-, regulator- or authority-specific rules must be configurable and validated by an authorised domain owner before production use.
Operating rules by business workflow
  • For works register, the record retains an accountable owner, its supporting evidence and accepted outcome.
  • For inspection requirements, the accepted plan records assumptions, rejected alternatives, dependencies and conditions.
  • For inspector scheduling, the record retains an accountable owner, its supporting evidence and accepted outcome.
  • For field findings, the record retains an accountable owner, its supporting evidence and accepted outcome.
  • For defect resolution, the record retains an accountable owner, its supporting evidence and accepted outcome.
  • For occupancy approval record, the record retains an accountable owner, its supporting evidence and accepted outcome.
  • For closeout reporting, the record retains an accountable owner, its supporting evidence and accepted outcome.
  • For operating requirement, the accepted plan records assumptions, rejected alternatives, dependencies and conditions.
  • For operating exceptions, a decision retains its authority, reason, supporting evidence and resulting obligations.
  • For completion and follow-up, evidence, reviewer authority and acceptance conditions are visible before a reviewed outcome is accepted.
  • For controlled operating changes, evidence, reviewer authority and acceptance conditions are visible before a reviewed outcome is accepted.
  • For scoped operational reports, the record retains an accountable owner, its supporting evidence and accepted outcome.

AN EXAMPLE OPERATING SCENARIO

What to validate in a scoped demonstration.

A building permit requires an inspection. The inspector records a defect and supporting evidence, the applicant submits a rectification record and a further review confirms the result. The authorised occupancy decision is recorded with its evidence and conditions.

What to review

  • A saved end-to-end transaction
  • An exception and its authorised resolution
  • Different operator, approver and reviewer permissions
  • Final records, history and the relevant report
Discuss this solution

Questions before implementation.

How is this system adapted to our organisation?

Roles, approval authority, business rules, records and reporting are configured around your operating model. Scope definition connects the required business outcome to workflows, interfaces and acceptance criteria.

How are approvals and responsibilities defined?

Operators, reviewers and authorised decision makers have defined responsibilities. Approval limits, exception handling and access permissions are agreed with your business owners and tested against the selected workflows.

Can it connect with our existing systems?

Interface requirements cover your existing business systems, data ownership, mapping and authentication. Connection design and testing form part of the agreed implementation scope.

What will we review in a solution walkthrough?

Start with a relevant business transaction, then review its approvals, an exception, role permissions and final records. Discuss the integrations, reporting and operating requirements that matter to your organisation.
