Software purpose-built for planning and building teams. All the tools you need to assess, compare, annotate and approve digital plans.
More than 220 Australian local government planning teams rely on Objective Trapeze as their local assessment and approval software.
Offering seamless integration with your eDRMS, and purpose-built tools to help you measure, calculate, mark up, find differences between sets of plans, and stamp clear space automatically, Objective Trapeze can save your planning team hours.
Smart Stamping automatically detects clear space, and places stamps in the best possible location on each page, significantly speeding up your approval process.
Stamp a 100-page application in a few mouse clicks, without having to flick through all the pages to identify which stamps are covering information or drawings. Save time by only reviewing the pages where insufficient clear space was found. Reposition stamps the way you want.
Create and save custom stamps that include your council logo, signatures, images, date, time and metadata from your eDRMS, such as reference numbers and assessor names.
Make complex measurements simple
Measure heights, widths and any areas with precision using Snap to Point. Work out travel distance in a few clicks. Quickly check angles for compliance. Perform calculations across multiple pages and easily track your calculations. Overlay images with ease.
Set scale with accuracy
Scale plans using pre-defined options, create your own or calibrate using a known line length. Apply the same scale to several pages at once and easily change the scale of existing measurements.
Volume Calculations
Calculate cubic volume with ease. Select from several roof types and extensions to work out the volume. Add, subtract or review percentage ratios with the built-in calculator. Perfect for Permitted Development or Green Belt Development.
Quickly compare, pixel by pixel, two versions of a document
Document Compare removes tedium and saves you time by automatically detecting changes and highlighting the amended content. Easily review pages side by side or overlaid for greater context.
Catch sneaky changes at a page level
We’ve all reviewed updated plans to find a balcony has ‘suddenly’ been extended or a building given a completely different footprint than what was discussed or shown in previous plans. Document Compare finds those changes and highlights them, so you’ll never miss a thing again.
Easily flag changes or areas needing attention with visual cues
Mark up your documents with customisable arrows, clouds, text boxes, sticky notes, images, stamps and more to highlight areas of concern, draw attention to amendments or specify required design changes.
Improve RFIs and referrals by communicating visually
Describing an issue or a required change in words can be time consuming and hard to perfect. Powerful annotation tools help you clearly and effectively convey meaning with applicants and referral agencies, while eliminating unnecessary back and forth communication. The result? Faster dispute resolution and better outcomes.
Quickly redact sensitive content of any shape
Use a variety of redaction tools to remove sensitive information. Draw redactions across irregular shapes and leave clear commentary about the nature and reason for the redaction.
Connect your systems for a seamless experience
Access, measure, mark up and save documents from your eDRMS directly within Objective Trapeze. Eliminate frustration and boost your productivity and efficiency by seamlessly integrating development assessment into your existing workflows.
Extend information governance across your plans and drawings
Eliminate paper by ensuring documents born digital, stay digital. Work confidently and avoid version confusion, knowing your information governance is managed in the background.
