Designed to manage the full life cycle of a Building Control application through to final certificate.

The MasterGov Building Control module is a comprehensive solution for managing the full life cycle of all Building Control applications including Initial Notices, Dangerous Structures, Demolitions and Partner Authority cases. The product also benefits from the Building Portal national Building Control submission system which allows the Council to take applications from applicants and agents in an electronic and fully integrated fashion.

  • Jotter Mobile Working Solution for managing Site Inspections
  • Complies with the latest BSR KPI Requirements
  • Fully Integrated GIS Solution
  • Fully integrated Document Management System
  • Support for Dangerous, Special and Temporary Structures and Demolition works
  • Planning Portal Integration

Applications can be entered manually, imported from the Planning Portal or via the built-in resubmission system. All application types can be inputted into the module with special interfaces provided for inputting and editing Initial Notices and quotes. Every facet of the case can be recorded and managed including consultation, demolition letters, plans checking, decision making, plots, inspections, fees and partner details.

The module has two quote/fee generators which are based upon the Council's own fee schedules, allowing them to send electronic quotes to applicants. One uses categorised fees whilst the other is based on time associated with plans checking, administration and inspections. In addition, fees can be calculated within a case, and both the plan and inspection fees are displayed to the user. Users can drag and drop specific fee items directly into the system from a list of fee tables.

Financial records can be added to the system, and links to be accounts packages can be provided. The system can also be set to produce invoices directly from plots / work items.

Core Features

MasterGov is packed with common features available to all modules

Workflow

The MasterGov suite contains an integrated workflow system. This task-based system allows the Council to define workflow processes for each module and have the system automatically apply them as the case progresses.

Notifications

MasterGov is supplied with Alert and Reminder capability, allowing custom alerts / reminders to be sent to specific officers to alert them of a forthcoming deadline.

Full GIS Solutions

MasterGov is supplied with QGIS GIS Solution, providing you with all the tools required for spatial data capture, analysis and constraint checking.

Access Control

DEF recommend using an Active Directory group which is added to the SQL Server database to provide system access. In doing so the DBA does not have to add individual users to the database server. Instead individual users will be added to the AD group. 

Document Management

MasterGov has its own Document Management System for storing letters, documents, certificates, emails and photographs relating to records stored in the database.

Reporting

MasterGov takes advantage of Microsoft's SSRS Reporting functionality to allow limitless Reports and Dashboards to be created across all modules within the MasterGov suite. Management dashboards and automated report delivery included as standard.
