Which version is right?
The impact

Three versions of the truth.

More explanation

Sales marks a plot as sold, the project manager still sees it as available. Searching costs time, searching in the wrong place costs money.

One file for the whole housing development.
The solution

One file for the whole housing development.

How it works

More explanation

For each process, you see what is in. Permits and plans belong to the housing development, not to someone's folder.

The planning follows the same source.
The result
