Major bottlenecks this month

  • Utilities sign-off taking 11d on average

    Affects 42 active applications. SLA: 10d.

  • Failed electrical inspections up 18%

    Most common reason: missing panel bonding.

  • Eleuthera applications waiting longest

    26d average. Inspector travel constraint.
