“We were losing two weeks per project on simple administrative omissions. Moving the precheck to a source-linked system stopped the back-and-forth with the city.”
Workflow story · Correction note resolution for mixed-use development
A commercial/residential mixed-use project in Phoenix, AZ received a 14-item correction list from the city; three items contradicted previous approval letters. Reading the municipal correction notice PDF, original site plan v2.1, and the prior approval letter dated October 2024, PlanSift identified a version mismatch between the submitted site plan and the referenced approval letter, raising Correction Risk flags on Item #4 and Item #7 with a recommended update of the site plan to v2.3 to align with the previously granted variance. The architect reviewed the discrepancy and uploaded the correct drawing version; the packet was resubmitted and approved without further corrections, avoiding an estimated three-week delay in groundbreaking. Measured via project timeline tracking and published as an anonymized technical artifact.
