Cloudpermit streamlines Town of St. Marys service for building applications

The Town of St. Marys is pleased to introduce Cloudpermit, a user-friendly e-permitting software that streamlines the building permit process. This new system will enable the Town to deliver a high standard of personalized customer support for contractors and builders applying for building permits, while taking physical distancing, office closures and paperless services into consideration.

A Cloudpermit trial with select builders over the past several months has resulted in very positive feedback. "The Cloudpermit system is convenient, efficient and easy to learn. To have all of our permit paperwork and inspections reports in one place keeps us more organized." says Brett Bickell, Owner and General Manager of Bickell Built Homes Ltd.

Benefits of using Cloudpermit for builders include:

• Accessibility: Users can see the status of an application anywhere and on any device
• Safety: It provides contactless service and support
• Flexibility: Users can complete applications in as many sessions as needed to suit their schedules
• Convenience: Users have 24/7 access to inspection data and software support

“We were concerned that e-permitting might take away from our customer service. Fortunately we’ve found the program's built-in communications function ensures that we can talk directly with our customers and continue to deliver exceptional customer service.” says Grant Brouwer, Director of Building and Development for the Town of St. Marys.
