Submission Workflows

Lot-level and master plan submissions move through Pipsy with multi-step forms, document and photo uploads, version history, and full traceability. Builders submit elevations, color schemes, and site plans through a tabbed portal that handles everything from initial draft to final approved packet — with field-level source labels so reviewers always know where data originated.

Anti-Monotony & Repetition Mapping

Built-in repetition rules enforce variety across the community based on your project's specific requirements. As builders fill out submission forms, watch "tentacles" extend in every direction across an interactive map — instantly revealing replication patterns and potential conflicts before they become problems.

03

Color & Material Management

Dedicated interfaces let builders submit color selections and materials for developer approval. Maintain community aesthetic standards without the back-and-forth of email chains and spreadsheets.

Saveable Color Schemes

Save and load schemes from nearby lots, then apply them to multiple lots at once. Full CRUD on the scheme library so your palette evolves with the community.

Color Repetition Awareness

When a builder submits a scheme, Pipsy surfaces the schemes already approved on neighboring lots so reviewers spot color clusters before they become a community-wide pattern.

ARC Control Systems

Full management control for developers to review master plans and individual site submittals. Approve, reject, request revisions, or apply conditional approvals — all with the date stamps, attachments, and history you need to defend every decision.

Conditional Approvals

Approve a submission with conditions attached so builders can move forward while addressing outstanding items. Every condition is tracked to closure.

Reviewer Dashboards

Reviewers see exactly what's queued, what's stuck, and what's ready for the next ARC meeting — with one-click access to approval packets and full lot history.

Approval Packet Downloads

Generate complete approval packets on demand for any lot — elevations, colors, materials, site plan, conditions, and reviewer notes in a single PDF.

Master Plan Submittals

Complete elevation submission system for builders to upload and manage master plans with full version control. Handles bans by community, classification of standard vs. non-standard plans, and sqft reconciliation across marketing and ARC records.

ARC Reporting

A purpose-built reporting layer keeps developers and ARC committees honest about what's actually happening in the community.

Standard vs. Non-Standard Plans

See at a glance which builders are submitting plans that match your master library and which are deviating — with the ability to drill down into every exception.

Marketing vs. ARC Sqft

Automatic detection of mismatches between what's being marketed and what was actually approved by ARC — so the public-facing data never drifts from the approved record.

Fee Status Tracking

Track ARC fee status per submission with weekly reporting filters so nothing falls through the cracks between builders, ARC, and accounting.

07

Lot Fee Buckets

Tracking individual checks and wires against individual ARC submissions is one of the most thankless jobs an ARC team has — and it's where money quietly slips through the cracks. Pipsy's Lot Fee Bucket system flips the model: builders prefund a bucket with a single check or wire, and the ARC team draws fees from that bucket as submissions come in.

No more matching a $300 wire to a specific lot submission a week later. No more chasing a builder for the right amount on the right submission. The bucket carries a running balance, every fee application is logged with the lot and submission it belongs to, and the builder gets a clean statement of where their money went.

Builder-Funded Buckets

Builders submit checks or wires once and Pipsy adds the funds to their named bucket. Multiple deposits accumulate into a single working balance.

Fee Application Against Balance

ARC fees, resubmission fees, and material review fees draw from the bucket automatically as the team processes each submission — no separate invoice cycle required.

Running Balance & Low-Funds Alerts

Balances are visible to both the ARC team and the builder. Pipsy can alert the builder when their bucket runs low so submissions never stall on funding.

Per-Bucket Statements & Audit Trail

Every deposit and every fee draw is timestamped against the lot and submission it relates to — pull a full statement for any builder at any time without rebuilding it from email and spreadsheets.

Field Compliance & Inspections

Pipsy's compliance suite extends ARC into the field. Template-based inspections, mobile drive mode with GPS, photo capture per lot, and full builder-corrections workflows turn ARC enforcement from a paper process into a living, auditable system of record.

Template-Based Inspections

Build inspection templates with custom fields, severity levels, and direct guideline references — load the template against any selection of lots and inspect from the same playbook every time.

Mobile Drive Mode with GPS

Inspectors drive the community with GPS-aware lot cards, capture photos, mark issues, and save drafts — even with spotty connectivity. Breadcrumb trails confirm coverage so no street is missed.

Builder Corrections Workflow

Findings flow directly to builders with a structured corrections workflow. Re-inspections close the loop with a full audit trail of who fixed what, when.

PDF Inspection Reports

Generate per-lot inspection PDFs and community-wide materials summary reports on demand — share with HOA boards, builders, or ARC committees in seconds.
