Sample project
You don’t know where your permit stands.
The project lives in five places, and the answer is always in the one you check last. The holdup you find out about late is the week you lose.
Everything the project needs. Everything the city asks for.
Run the project
- Tasks with owners and due dates
- Everyone sees what they owe and when.
- Documents and drawing sets
- Current set, prior sets, and the city-stamped approved plans.
- Submittals and RFIs
- Every package and question logged with its status and history.
- Upload requests
- Send a link. Consultants drop files in without an account.
- Guests
- Clients and consultants see their project and nothing else.
Track the permit
- Department lanes
- Building, Fire, Planning, Public Works. Status and days sitting, each on its own lane.
- Whose turn
- Every item says You or City, so nobody has to dig.
- Corrections list
- The city’s letter becomes a tracked list with owners and dates.
- Requirements
- What your jurisdiction wants in the package, before you assemble it.
- Plan Proof and Backcheck
- See what the city will likely flag before you file, and what you missed before it goes back.
Three steps to move your permit forward.
Start the project before you file
Add the project, pick the jurisdiction and upload the plan set. You see what that city wants in the package, and a Plan Proof check shows what it is likely to flag while you can still fix it.
Put every city comment on someone’s list
When the letter comes back, upload it. Each correction becomes an item with an owner and a due date, grouped by department, so nothing waits on a forwarded email.
Make the next move before it costs you a week
Every item says You or City and how long it has been sitting. Chase the consultant, follow up with the desk, and run Backcheck before it goes back, so the resubmittal answers everything.
Know what the city will flag before you submit.
Run your plans through Olumba. Upload the PDF, pick the jurisdiction, and get the likely correction letter in two minutes. Free preview, no account.
Every finding arrives with its evidence.
Professionals act on evidence, not vibes. Here is what one finding looks like in your report.
Egress path exceeds allowable travel distance to exit discharge
The corridor route from Suite 210 measures roughly 265 feet to the nearest exit discharge, over the 250-foot limit for sprinklered B occupancies. This exact condition was flagged in 8 of the last 10 comparable sets we have seen from this jurisdiction.

Plan Proof and Backcheck are preliminary AI reviews. You confirm every item; they don’t replace your judgment or the city’s.
We’ve seen this from both sides of the counter.
Olumba was built by someone who ran permits for a living. Nobody can sell you access to a plan checker. What a system can hold is the coordination: what was asked, who owes what, and what is about to be late.
