Avolve Software is the global leader in electronic plan review.

Avolve Software is the global leader in electronic plan review. We have a suite of market leading products ProjectDox, DigEplan Pro, and DigEplan that offers an advanced plan review solution that works for any jurisdiction.

We provide choice, so whether you are looking for fully integrated, standalone, or standalone with integration, we can help with a best-in-class solution. We aim to be part of your journey, ensuring that your plan review technology works for you today, and into the future.

Plan Review Options

We believe in providing more than just products, we view processes as challenges and create opportunities to change the mindset of how we approach these everyday tasks. If you are using paper or PDF mark-up tools you are subject to a significant productivity loss, unnecessary complexity, and negative impact on your staff and citizen experience.

Going digital doesn’t mean compromising on the way in which your jurisdiction works or the processes you have already got in place.

Avolve provides plan review solutions that enhance the permitting systems you are using, adding huge efficiency gains and aiding economic growth.

At the end of the year, our chief building official came to us and said the average review time for us was around three-and-a-half days, which was incredible given we have just three plans examiners.
Adams County, CO
We selected DigEplan because we feel it is the best solution on the market today.
Walnut Creek, CA
DigEplan has elevated our experience in terms of how we notated or marked up the plans, resulting in a time and efficiency savings for both the City and the customer.
City of Brenham, TX
Something that may have taken 7-10 days is now closer to 3-5 days since adopting DigEplan.
Chesterfield County, VA
From the moment we did the demo with DigEplan, it was just a great relationship. We had that comfort level that, for me, has always been one of the most important of any potential partnership. When you’re able to reach out to someone and they’re responsive and want to work with you to find solutions — that’s a huge selling point.
Polk County, FL
We had set initial benchmarks; and for product testing and comparison DigEplan excelled.
Oklahoma City, OK
Productivity gains have been significant as a result…one-click all conversions, PDF/A records are created, and stamps applied.
Gemeente Goes, The Netherlands
ProjectDox works really well with other applications, specifically Accela. I would 100% recommend Avolve and Accela together. In tandem they work beautifully.
Clackamas County, OR
Adding CDOT’s Project Coordination Office as a reviewer in ProjectDox helped us realize almost $24 million in potential savings in 2022
Chicago Department of Transportation, IL
Our ProjectDox implementation has been a model for others in our region.
Florida, USA
The program is excellent and really improves the organization and the efficiency of plan review. The integration with our permitting software has been seamless…
We didn't want to regret our choice in 10 years, so support and future proofing played a role in our decision...
Sandy City, UT
It’s revolutionary for a city to conduct its permit process this way.
Our interim building official is ecstatic about DigEplan. He says it is so quick and just easy to use, it's a no brainer.
Douglas County, NV
We can see our individual tasks and search whole projects. This makes all the information we need on each project visible, so we can see what’s high priority, when it was created, and when it’s due. It’s good for us to have that timeline spelled out, and turnaround has definitely been improved since implementing ProjectDox.
Apple Valley, MN
We have very short turnaround times that tend to be far more aggressive than most jurisdictions. DigEplan Pro has helped get applications into the system faster and improved transparency so that we know exactly what is in the queue.
Pima County, AZ
ProjectDox allows us to have review meetings not only face-to-face, but digitally recorded, tracked, timestamped on a case-by-case basis in a queuing system.
Boise, ID
Once they realized that this software was easy to navigate and would create transparency in the plan review process, they really embraced it. People realized that ProjectDox would prevent potential conflicts, for example between a plumbing inspector and the Detroit Water and Sewer department. I think ProjectDox has made a big difference in the attitude of a lot of staff in the City of Detroit.
City of Detroit, MI
ProjectDox has really been a tool to
improve operations across the City of
Minneapolis.
City of Minneapolis, MN
ProjectDox checked all the boxes for what we felt were important, like built-in communications, push notification back and forth to the customer, ease of use for reviewers, along with other features that make review quicker, faster, easier.
New Braunfels, TX
Productivity has actually increased in the work at home environment due to fewer distractions versus an office environment. We’ve been able to stay online and continue business as usual with staff working from home.
City of Vancouver, WA
We knew we had to make it quicker and easier for customers to get through our process and get on with construction on their projects.
Salt Lake City, UT
The longer the project sits with the City, the more it costs the Developers. We want more development and permits, that’s our business. We needed to find a way to make it easier and faster.
City of St. Paul, MN
