County: Software affecting processing of building permits; expect temporary delays

The Bluebeam software used in its Electronic Processing and Information Center system continues to experience intermittent service disruptions following a recent update on March 1, according to the County of Hawai‘i Department of Public Works Building Division.

“Bluebeam is critical in processing and reviewing documents and facilitating access to building permits across different agencies,” officials said Monday. “The service interruptions have resulted in temporary delays in permit processing timelines.”

The Department of Public Works is actively exploring alternative options for plan reviews to mitigate these delays and will communicate updates promptly, according to the County of Hawai‘i.
