Case Study: District of Sechelt streamlines building permits online with Cloudpermit

Advice from One Building Department to Another

The District of Sechelt, British Columbia, wanted to move its building permit process online to make applications easier for staff, builders, and residents. Working with Cloudpermit, the district looked for a solution that would let applicants submit building permit applications, upload required drawings and documents, and pay fees online.

Cloudpermit implemented an online permitting workflow that also supports inspections, project collaboration, and integration with other systems like Bluebeam. The result was a more efficient process with complete applications, less paper handling, faster communication, unlimited user access for government staff, and significant time savings for both the building department and applicants.
