Hi there!

The Inspection Calendar now allows applicants to book inspections directly from connected individual Inspection Calendars through a clean and intuitive interface.

This gives applicants the autonomy to choose the times that work best for them, while saving your inspectors valuable time that would otherwise be spent coordinating schedules.

Hi there!

Our Plan Review tools just got even better with two powerful new features to make your reviews smoother and more precise.

Whenever an applicant updates their plans, a “Modified” badge now appears next to any documents that differ from the previous version – helping you instantly identify which files need your attention.

Take your reviews to the next level with our side-by-side and overlay comparison tools, allowing you to quickly compare plan files against previous versions for a more efficient review process.

Shared by Bruno • October 24, 2025

Hi there!

We’re excited to bring you the Inspection Calendar, a brand-new way to manage your inspections across GovWell and your personal calendar.

The Inspection Calendar allows you to seamlessly manage your inspections and sync them with your personal calendar, helping you coordinate daily tasks with your teammates. The calendar integration is bidirectional, meaning any changes made in your external calendar are also reflected in your personal calendar – this allows you to manage your GovWell calendar from your own calendar!

The Inspection Calendar also allows you to set up Holidays to block federal holidays and create Personal Inspection Hours for inspectors with part-time or non-standard schedules, keeping your calendar accurate and tailored to your team.

Shared by Bruno • October 15, 2025

Hi there!

GovWell now lets you assign a Final Reviewer to your Plan Review process – ensuring every plan receives a final seal of approval.

The Final Reviewer role gives one team member the ability to perform a final check after all other reviewers have completed their tasks. This person applies the final judgment on the plan set before the corrections report is sent to the applicant.

This flexible and useful feature helps ensure that your reviews are thorough, with no steps – or stamps! – left behind.

✅ Update Approved Plan Sets Anytime with Plan Set Revisions!

Shared by Bruno • September 24, 2025

Hi there!

We’re excited to announce the Plan Set Revisions feature, designed to make updating already approved plan sets easier and more flexible!

👀 Instead of starting Plan Review from the start to update approved plans, simply initiate a revision directly within the same plan set.

⚡ Even better, revisions can be performed at any point in the workflow without interrupting ongoing tasks. So, for example, if a revision is required while the workflow is already in the Inspections step, there’s no need to add a Plan Review step or delay other tasks – the revision works in parallel, allowing the project to move forward without any disruptions.

Hi there!

We’re very excited to announce the new Fee Schedules feature!

With this new tool, you can plan and update your fee templates in advance, making it easier to stay organized and efficiently manage fees for specific time periods.

For example, when new fees take effect at the start of the year, there’s no need to rush through manual reviews and updates. Instead, you can schedule your changes weeks – or even months – in advance and let them automatically go live as soon as the new year begins.

With Fee Schedules, the work is done ahead of time so you can sit back and let the system handle the rest.
