Electronic Plans Management Training Creating an Account/ Managing Users
The Electronic Plan Management system (EPM) is an online tool designed to allow architects, engineers, and designers the ability to oversee their projects as they go through the plan review and permitting process. All pertinent information related to the project is visible on the dashboard, with real time updates. The first step to working in EPM is establishing an account. The web address is: http://epm.mecklenburgcountync.gov
Click here to Create the company account for the first time. Once the account is established, individuals may be added and deleted as needed.
Enter your company s official name. This will be the name that will appear on any letters or reports associated with your account. Press Continue. If the firm is already in the system, do not create a new account. If is not listed, click Continue.
Enter the base firm information in the first section of this page.
The Client Administrator will have permissions to make changes to the account, add/delete users, and grant security rights to users. The Client Administrator may have many different roles so check each box that is applicable. If you have a license, please enter it in the appropriate box. When finished, press Submit.

You may also wish to add users that are not in the firm but are designers or contractors you work with frequently. By adding them, EPM will preload them into dropdown lists in the OnSchedule application so you do not have to add their information on each submittal.
Enter the information and press Save. It is imperative that you enter the name and license number as it appears on the individuals seal. This information is vital to the project, as it impacts the AE Pass Rate Incentive program and becomes part of the official record of the project. As we discover incorrect information, it will delay the project through the plan review process and may adversely affect the AE Pass Rate scores.
