Check out real-life reporting stories from our customers:
Reporting in Natural Disaster Response
The Township of Uxbridge
The Township of Uxbridge was impacted by an EF-2 tornado in May 2022. Different users worked in Cloudpermit at the same time. The software was also used in the aftermath of the natural disaster – access to key reports was crucial.
It’s very simple and time-effective to update orders with Cloudpermit. We’re getting engineer reports for structure damage assessments and by working online, I can upload the engineer reports into the inspection we created. If we have a prohibited occupancy order on a building, and the inspector has found that the building could be occupied safely, I can upload the report and satisfy the order.”
- Mike Klose, Chief Building Official for the Township of Uxbridge
Reporting to Cities
The City of Brockville
Brockville experienced flooding which prompted it to seek a cost estimate for insurance purposes.
The city needed a cost estimate for insurance purposes. With Cloudpermit, we easily determined how many basements had the required building permits and inspections. Getting this information and creating a report was straightforward.
This helped the city decide who would receive insurance coverage for the flooding. In the past, without this software, it would have taken a lot of time to find the necessary data. Now, it just takes a minute.”
- Sebastian Scott, Chief Building Official for the City of Brockville
Brockville’s CBO continued that Cloudpermit has led to more reliable reporting.
Achieving this level of accuracy in our monthly council reports would have been impossible before Cloudpermit. These reports enable us to make informed decisions and provide the city with valuable insights.”
Reporting to Authorities
The Township of Ramara
The Township of Ramara wanted to give its community a digital, convenient, and accessible platform for permitting and inspections. Now, the team can quickly send reports to authorities, like the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) and Statistics Canada.
One thing that we hadn’t realized before we implemented Cloudpermit was how beneficial automatic and online MPAC and Statistics Canada reporting is for our team. It’s turned a time-consuming task into a few easy and quick clicks.”
- Walied Zekry, Chief Building Official for the Township of Ramara
Reporting Financial Information
Town of Gananoque
The Town of Gananoque’s government staff have saved valuable hours with online community development software. Now, they create automatic reports for financial information.
Inspections and reporting have become easier with this user-friendly software. Cloudpermit has saved me hours of time creating StatsCan and MPAC reports. Now, I can create automatic reports for StatsCan, MPAC, building permits, and financial information. This turned what used to take hours into just a minute.”
- Blake Keyes, Chief Building Official for the Town of Gananoque
Reporting to Councils
Town of Kingsville
Kingsville’s applicants have found it easier to upload revisions to their projects online, rather than with paper. Those revisions can be easily adjusted in final council reports.
Before this software, we had to rely on file transfers and manually make sure nothing was missing. Now, we can see everything right away in one place for easier council reports.”
- George Robinson, Manager of Planning Services for the Town of Kingsville
