Run Every
Permit
Like Clockwork
PermitGuard is the permit pipeline for runners and expediters — track every permit, manage jurisdiction forms and submissions in one place, and get an AI code pre-check on every set before it goes to the city.
Fewer resubmissions, faster approvals, happier clients. The AI review is the cherry on top — the pipeline is the product.

- Fewer resubmissions
Running Permits Shouldn't Feel Like Chaos
Permit runners and expediters juggle dozens of permits across different municipalities — each with its own forms, portals, and quirks. One missed requirement sends the whole thing back to square one.
Portal-Hopping
Every municipality has its own portal, forms, and login. Keeping them straight across 20 active permits is a full-time job.
Resubmission Roulette
A single missed requirement triggers another review cycle — weeks lost, and a client asking why their project stalled.
Paperwork Sprawl
Forms, plan sets, correction letters, and receipts scattered across email, shared drives, and desktops.
Deadline Pressure
Permit delays stall construction schedules — and the expediter takes the heat when the timeline slips.
Client Chasing
Clients want status updates you don't have yet — because the city hasn't told you anything either.
Margin Squeeze
Every resubmission eats your margin. Fixed-fee permits don't pay for round two.
A single resubmission can cost weeks of delay — and your margin on the permit.
Your Permit Pipeline, End to End
PermitGuard gives runners and expediters one place to run every permit: open the permit, build the submission packet with the right jurisdiction forms, and track it through approval.
And before anything goes to the city, every set gets an AI code pre-check — 500+ requirements across 12 code families — so correctable issues get caught by you, not the reviewer.
How It Works
From intake to approval — the runner's workflow
Open the Permit
Create the project and set the jurisdiction. PermitGuard pulls the local requirements, forms, and submission rules.
Build the Packet
Assemble drawings and jurisdiction forms in the Permit Runner. Everything the city asks for, in one packet.
Pre-Check with AI
Run the AI code pre-check over the set — 500+ requirements in minutes. Fix what it flags before the city ever sees it.
File & Track
Submit with confidence and track status across municipalities. Handle corrections fast when they come back.
AI Code Pre-Check on Every Submission
The pipeline is the product — but every submission also gets an AI pre-check from specialist reviewers across 5 disciplines, trained on the local amendments for your jurisdiction. Catch it before the city does.
Structural
Foundation, framing, lateral force-resisting system, seismic & wind design, load path, connections
Life Safety
Occupancy classification, means of egress, fire-rated assemblies, sprinkler & alarm requirements, accessibility
MEP Systems
HVAC, ventilation, electrical service & panels, plumbing fixture counts, fire suppression & alarm systems
Site & Zoning
Setbacks, lot coverage, building height, parking, grading, accessible site routes
Energy Code
Building envelope, equipment efficiency, lighting power, compliance path documentation
Every Drawing Gets Dedicated Attention
Each sheet in your plan set is individually reviewed by the specialist for its discipline — no drawing is skipped or diluted because the set is large.
Local Codes, Not Just IBC
PermitGuard understands that every municipality adopts and amends codes differently. The system researches jurisdiction-specific requirements for your project address — not a generic national standard.
Quality-Controlled Before Delivery
Every finding goes through an internal validation pass before you see it — reducing false positives, consolidating overlapping issues, and ensuring confidence levels are accurately reported.
Over 500 Building Code Requirements Checked
Every pre-check is powered by a deterministic requirement registry spanning every major building code discipline — from IBC and IRC structural checks to NEC electrical, NFPA fire protection, and ADA accessibility.

Stop Paying for Resubmissions
PermitGuard pays for itself the first time it prevents a rejection.

AI-Assisted Pre-Check
PermitGuard's AI pre-check helps identify potential compliance issues before submission. Construction codes and regulations may be interpreted differently by local authorities. Users should always verify findings and consult local municipalities or qualified professionals when necessary.
