Our Story
Built on the Communities We Serve
Founded in 1992, SAFEbuilt was built on the principle of serving the communities where we live, work, and play by enabling their local government's building departments to improve service quality, save money, and improve community satisfaction.
Let's Bring Your Vision to Life
Revitalizing a Small-Sized Building Department
Welcome to Maryville, Georgia, population 12,000, led by City Manager Maggie.
Maggie and the city's building department have been unable to keep up with increasing workloads. Their backlog has only intensified as residents:
- Use insurance money to replace roofs following a spring hailstorm
- Continue to move to the community
- File complaints about the quality of their public spaces
City Manager Maggie:
- Time as city manager: < 6 months
- Platform: Revitalize her small community
Let's see what Maggie accomplishes in the next year:
New High School
- Schedule inspections and manage inspectors online
- Streamline inspections with multi-disciplinary staffing
- Receive real-time inspection and project updates
Leading to:
- Less scheduling & administrative logistics
- A faster timeline to ribbon cutting
City Hall
With third-party plan reviewers on stand by, Maggie made it possible to:
- Complete plan reviews electronically
Leading to:
- Same-day plan reviews
- Breaking ground faster on new projects
Updated Public Park
With additional resources, such as planning and design, SAFEbuilt helped:
- Design a practical, eco-friendly public space to better suit the neighborhood
- Intercept zone codes for Maggie
- Preserve the historical look and feel of the town
Leading to:
- A healthier, happier community
- A more desirable neighborhood to live in
New Housing Development
With a third-party staff member to manage permitting, and SAFEbuilt’s electronic permitting software, Maggie was able to help:
- The department to keep up with the busy season via an interim permit technician
- Residents to submit, manage, and approve permits online
- The department to reduce their outstanding permits
Leading to:
- Happier residents
- Well-vetted projects and a safer community
- Less stress on the building department team (without a full-time hire)
