One of the largest headaches for Building Departments is handling unrealistic expectations from
demanding customers. As a leader in bringing thoughtful industry solutions to the government sphere,
VCA Code's President, Bob Heinrich, crafted this proprietary system to help cities:
• Eliminate complaints to City leadership, especially on politicized projects
• Remove complaints related to turnaround times because the customer selects their timeframes
• Relieve staff burden because the customer works directly with VCA
• Avoid issues with fees because the applicant chooses their own fee amount
• Retain higher percentage of the fee and allow additional resources for the City's usage
We are the only consultant with experience in the successful implementation of this service that benefits
all parties involved. Our team is available to discuss this option in more detail.
