Our Story

Why Permitech Exists

Permitting doesn't just slow projects. It slows revenue, schedules, and trust. Permitech was built to replace that chaos with a clear workflow and approved outcomes.

The Old Way

Scattered, manual, and fragile.

Manual permitting chaos

The Permitech Way

Structured, digital, and verifiable.

Permit Delays Cause Cashflow Leaks

In residential construction, permits are the gate that controls scheduling, installs, and cashflow. When permits stall, everything downstream suffers.

  • Projects get rescheduled
  • Crews lose productive days
  • Customers get anxious
  • Cancellations increase
Incoming Call
The Building Department

"We can't approve the garage permit yet. The site plan doesn't show the distance to the easement."

"But the crew is scheduled for Monday..."

"Sorry. You'll need to update the drawing and resubmit. Review takes 7-10 business days."

Project Delayed: 2 Weeks

The real problem: the system assumes you already know the rules.

Most homeowners don't know what an Authority Holding Jurisdiction (AHJ) is, why zoning matters, or what counts as a complete submittal. They assume, "My Property, My Rules." Then a denial arrives and the timeline resets.

Permitech closes the gap

Permitech closes the gap

We translate requirements into a practical workflow built around what reviewers actually need.

The Moment it Clicked

The same confusion kept showing up: applicants rejected for documents they did not know existed, timelines dragging out over avoidable issues, and contractors taking the blame when the real issue was requirements discovered too late.

It was not a people problem. It was a workflow problem.

Sheds and garages first

Why sheds and garages first

Sheds and garages are a perfect wedge: high volume, repeatable patterns, common rejection reasons, and measurable ROI when delays cause cancellations.

We start where we can deliver fast approvals and visible impact, then expand outward.

What repeatability unlocks

Consistent packets reviewers can approve quickly

Clear expectations for customers and contractors

Fewer last-minute surprises and resubmittals

The bigger vision

The bigger vision

Permitech is becoming a Preconstruction Operating System, a structured layer that connects project intent, constraints, artifacts, and outcomes. Over time, every approval and revision creates structured history. That becomes the foundation for property compliance records and standardized future work.

What we refuse to become

Permitech will not become a predatory compliance machine. We will not sell raw user data without consent or use technology to undermine privacy or rights.
