There are two summary tables on the Permits & Construction home screen, as shown below:
- Standard – Standard Building Permits are listed under this tab (Part 9 housing and small buildings in the National Building Code of Canada)
- Complex –Complex Building Permits are listed under this tab (Part 3 complex buildings in the National Building Code of Canada)
Switch between the Standard and Complex tables by selecting the desired tab.
The following color codes apply to the Permits listed in the tables:
- Red: there is at least one Rejected item in the inspections performed on the Permit
- Yellow: the inspections performed on the Permit have all been Accepted, but at least one item needs to be reinspected
- Green: the inspections performed on the Permit have all been Accepted
- No Colour: no inspections have been performed on the Permit
