Case Study: BCP Council streamlines volume calculations with Objective Trapeze

BCP Council cuts volume calculations from a long-winded process to minutes with Objective Corporation

BCP Council, a UK local authority, faced a time-consuming challenge for its planning team. Accurately calculating the cubic volume of building extensions, especially for complex or unusual roof types, was a manual and labor-intensive process that required multiple checks. This was identified as a significant inefficiency by their Planning Manager, Simon Gould. The council used Objective Corporation's Objective Trapeze software for development management.

Objective Corporation implemented a new volume calculations feature directly into Objective Trapeze Professional. This solution was co-designed with planners from BCP Council and other authorities. The result was a quick, intuitive, and accurate tool that eliminated the need for external calculators and manual record-keeping. This provided planning officers with more confidence in their assessments and created a structured, saved record of their work, saving the council significant time.
