Accelerate Permit Approvals with AI‑Driven Insight
Building permits shouldn't be a guessing game. permittable uses advanced artificial intelligence to interpret building plans, cross‑check them against local code, and surface the exact changes needed for first‑pass approval—so your projects start sooner and finish faster.
Why Permitting Is Broken
The current permitting process is filled with inefficiencies that cost time, money, and resources.
Municipal backlogs and paper‑heavy workflows stall projects for weeks—or months.
Staying on top of every local amendment is nearly impossible for busy design teams.
Each correction cycle adds fees, delays, and reputational risk.
Our AI‑Powered Solution
permittable combines cutting-edge AI technologies to revolutionize the permit application process.
1. Plan Intelligence Engine
We ingest native CAD/PDF drawings, vectorize them, and create a rich digital twin. Computer‑vision models identify architectural elements, MEP systems, and zoning footprints with >99% precision.
Automatic recognition of architectural elements
Vectorization of PDF drawings
Digital twin creation for comprehensive analysis
2. Code Compliance Insight
A large‑language model trained on your jurisdiction's building and fire code flags violations, missing annotations, and dimensional conflicts in seconds. Insights are cited back to the exact code section for full traceability.
Jurisdiction-specific code analysis
Automatic flagging of code violations
Exact code section citations for each issue
3. Reviewer Preference Learning
Our system studies historical comment letters from local reviewers to understand what they flag most often. The model prioritizes those items so your submittal speaks the reviewer's language.
Analysis of historical reviewer comments
Prioritization of commonly flagged items
Reviewer-specific optimization
4. One‑Click Submission Optimizer
Generate a ready‑to‑upload permit set annotated with all corrections, plus a narrative checklist that pre‑answers likely reviewer questions. Less back‑and‑forth, more green lights.
Automated correction annotations
Narrative checklist generation
Ready-to-upload permit set creation
