PermitSight uses AI to ingest and parse complete building permit packages, automatically checking them against relevant code requirements and flagging compliance gaps such as setback violations or missing calculations. It then generates structured correction reports that help applicants fix issues before submission and enable reviewers to focus on higher‑value tasks, reducing review time by several minutes per plan.

Problem
Building permit applications often contain errors or omissions that conflict with local building codes, leading to lengthy review cycles, delayed projects, and increased workload for both applicants and reviewers.
Solution
PermitSight uses artificial intelligence to ingest complete permit packages, parse and categorize the documents, and automatically compare the contents against relevant code requirements. The system identifies compliance gaps and generates structured correction reports that highlight specific issues, such as setback violations or missing calculations. By delivering clear, actionable feedback before formal submission, applicants can resolve problems early, while reviewers spend less time on routine code checks and focus on higher‑value judgment tasks. The platform streamlines the entire permit workflow, reducing review time and improving overall permit quality.
Target Audience
Primary customers are municipal building departments, private permitting agencies, and construction firms that process large volumes of permit applications and seek to accelerate review cycles while maintaining code compliance.
