Delay cascades across the build calendar
A one week permit delay can push installs into the next slot, which then pushes the next project. The result is lost production days and a compressed schedule.
In seasonal markets, there is no easy way to make that time back.
Cashflow and crew utilization take the hit
Permits control when you can start and when you can invoice. Delays can create gaps where crews are idle and cashflow slows.
That cost is often larger than the permit fee itself.
Customers feel the impact immediately
Homeowners do not see the permit as the problem. They see the delay as a broken promise.
That frustration shows up in cancellations, reschedules, and online reviews.
A repeatable process lowers the risk
Standardized intake, clear requirements, and clean packets reduce the risk of delays. That is the core promise behind the Permitech workflow.
