In practice

A typical week for an architect on Granted

Mon

9:00am

Dashboard opens to show 2 applications need attention this week — one approaching its statutory deadline, one with an RFI response due in 12 days.

Tue

11:30am

RFI arrives on a Cork application. Granted flags it instantly — plain-English breakdown of the 3 items, urgency levels set, deadline calculated automatically.

Wed

2:15pm

One-click client updates sent to 3 clients in under 2 minutes — each update references their application directly. No emails drafted from scratch.

Fri

4:00pm

New application added to the dashboard. Submission checklist generated for the county and project type. Newspaper notice requirement confirmed — correct papers listed automatically.

Live Pipeline Dashboard

Your full client application portfolio in one view. Status, deadlines, RFI flags, and statutory timelines — updated in real time across every active application.

Client Document Management

Interpret RFIs, conditions, and appeal decisions across your entire client base. Every document tracked per project, not per session — with flagged action items and deadlines for each client.

One-Click Client Updates

Send a plain-English status update to a client directly from their application record. No email drafting, no copy-paste — one click logs the update and sends it.

Planning Statement Generator

Generate a professional draft planning statement for any application — tailored to project type, county policy, and local needs criteria. Edit and export in minutes.

Design Guide Checker

Check any design against local authority design guidelines and urban design standards before you submit — saving pre-submission meetings and expensive revisions.

County Document Library

Every county development plan, local area plan, and design guideline in one searchable place — cross-referenced to your active applications so you always know which policy applies.
