A new era begins: DPP announces name and launch date for innovative permitting software

The City and County of Honolulu's Department of Planning and Permitting announces the official name of its new permitting software

News Release from DPP

HONOLULU – The Department of Planning and Permitting (DPP) is proud to announce the official name and launch date of its new, modern permitting software, designed to streamline the building permit process and improve zoning, site development, and planning applications.

The new system, called HNL Build, will replace the decades-old POSSE platform. Built on the Salesforce platform and implemented by Speridian, HNL Build represents a significant step forward in improving efficiency, transparency, and customer service within the permitting process. The platform’s tagline, “Building Tomorrow, Today,” reflects DPP’s commitment to supporting the safe, responsible, and timely development of Oʻahu’s infrastructure.

HNL Build will officially launch on Monday, August 4, 2025.

To prepare for the transition, the current POSSE and ePlans systems will go offline at the close of business on Monday, July 28, 2025. Please be advised that many permitting services will be unavailable during this period.

Any applications or processes already in progress as of July 28 will automatically transfer to the new system with their current status preserved. Applicants planning to submit applications around this time are encouraged to wait until HNL Build goes live on August 4 to take advantage of the system’s new and improved features. These include enhanced tools for application submissions, plan reviews, inspections, payments, and licensing.

To help users navigate the new platform, DPP will release a series of tutorial videos ahead of the launch. These videos will be available on DPP’s YouTube channel and website approximately one week before HNL Build goes live.

DPP is committed to making this transition as smooth as possible for all users. For updates and additional information, visit www.honolulu.gov/dpp.
