Add Permits

Modified on Thu, 30 Jul at 3:18 AM

The 'Permits' module contains details of building permits obtained by the collaborating contractor companies for the project from the county/state authorities.

Project managers of different construction companies, including the general contractor and the subcontractors collaborating on the project through Linarc, can add the details of their building permits. The details are shared among all contractors, architects, engineers, consultants, and the owner involved in the project. This enables the general contractor to ensure that all SCs have valid permits to carry out the work assigned to them.
