In this episode of the Alosant Innovator Series, we sit down with A’Lisa Ozment, Founder and CEO of Architectural Plan Review (APR). With over 25 years of experience, A’Lisa shares how her fascination with homebuilding led to entrepreneurship. She founded APR, a company that manages architectural control for master-planned residential communities. A’Lisa highlights APR’s role as a liaison between developers and builders, ensuring the developer's vision is maintained throughout the building process. She underscores the importance of approaching architectural control as collaborative rather than punitive, to create beautiful and valuable communities for homeowners. We dive into her passion for technology and innovation, including the development of APRTrac — an interactive dashboard that keeps developers and builders aligned while tracking crucial elements, such as homeowner modification requests. Looking ahead, APR continues to evolve, with APRTrac 3.0 promising enhanced builder reporting and interactive mapping features. A’Lisa also offers advice from her career about embracing opportunities and the importance of jumping into new endeavors. Join us for an inspiring conversation about innovation, technology, and building communities with value.
