By adopting RisePMS, this process is automated and streamlined:
Contractors simply upload the PDF drawing to the system, selecting the pre-configured approval workflow. The system automatically notifies the assigned consultant.

Approvers make their decision (Approved / Approved with Comments / Rejected) and sign electronically. The system automatically stamps the status on the drawing and instantly alerts the contractor.
Projects utilizing the digital approval workflow of RisePMS report impressive results:
Digitalizing approval workflows is a critical step towards a smarter, more efficient construction site.
