Business workflow and operating scope

Coordinate approved building work, inspection scheduling, defect resolution and authorised occupancy administration. Inspection scheduling, defect evidence and final approval can become fragmented across permit and field records. The system follows the administrative journey from approved building work to an occupancy decision, preserving the responsible inspector's findings and the evidence used to resolve defects.

Governance and control

  • Inspection and release criteria must be based on approved requirements.
  • Critical findings cannot be closed without authorised disposition.
  • Corrective actions require owners and due dates.
  • Evidence must remain linked to the inspected object or process.
  • Release status must be blocked when mandatory requirements remain open.
  • Jurisdiction-, regulator- or authority-specific rules must be configurable and validated by an authorised domain owner before production use.

Systems and interfaces

  • Permit and property registers
  • Approved inspector records
  • Document retention and notification services

Interface scope, data mapping and testing are agreed for each engagement.

Implementation requirements
Local building codes, licensed inspector responsibilities, permit registers and evidence retention rules require qualified building control review and acceptance.

Mobile and tablet access

Record inspection findings, photographs and authorised follow-up actions on field devices.

Access approved workflows through the Dalfin mobile app. Device tasks and permissions are confirmed for the deployment.

AI extensions

Draft a summary of recorded findings for inspector review. Building and occupancy decisions remain with the responsible authority.

AI extensions are scoped around the required data, business outcome and review controls.

Engineered with Genesis.

Structured application engineering

Connect requirements, roles, records, workflows and interfaces through the agreed Genesis engineering process.

Controlled changes

Review dependency impact and validation requirements. Context Memory supports governed changes and accepted application revisions.

Deployment and support

Agree customer cloud or on-premises requirements, device access, implementation acceptance and ongoing engineering support.

An example operating scenario

See the process, its exception and the evidence.

A building permit requires an inspection. The inspector records a defect and supporting evidence, the applicant submits a rectification record and a further review confirms the result. The authorised occupancy decision is recorded with its evidence and conditions.

What to review

  • A saved end-to-end transaction
  • An exception and its authorised resolution
  • Different operator, approver and reviewer permissions
  • Final records, history and the relevant report

Questions before implementation.

How is this system adapted to our organisation?

Roles, approval authority, business rules, records and reporting are configured around your operating model. Scope definition connects the required business outcome to workflows, interfaces and acceptance criteria.

How are approvals and responsibilities defined?

Operators, reviewers and authorised decision makers have defined responsibilities. Approval limits, exception handling and access permissions are agreed with your business owners and tested against the selected workflows.

Can it connect with our existing systems?

Interface requirements cover your existing business systems, data ownership, mapping and authentication. Connection design and testing form part of the agreed implementation scope.

What will we review in a solution walkthrough?

Start with a relevant business transaction, then review its approvals, an exception, role permissions and final records. Discuss the integrations, reporting and operating requirements that matter to your organisation.
