Spotlight: A variety of rehab in Brevard County

Brevard County’s Housing & Human Services Department manages a wide range of housing programs, from weatherization, to rehab and repair, to completely demoing a house and building a new one.

Pam Davis, the Housing Project Specialist, uses Housing Developer Pro to create all of the County’s work write-ups. HDP is such a useful tool for her because it “helps maintain the consistency of our specs which makes a project easier to write-up and for the contractors, easier to bid.”

When asked what advice Ms. Davis could offer for agencies considering HDP, she suggested, “First, make sure the Library of Specs has the wording accurate for your type of projects, codes, requirements, etc. Second, set up your Locations [in your Checklist] to include most used specs; this makes completing a write-up a gazillion times faster!”

Ms. Davis appreciates that “when you’re done with your several hour long inspection, you come in (or you can complete on-site), input name and address, add a location, then enter quantity of items you want, print, and you’re done!”
