About Permitify
Summary
Permitify builds an AI co-pilot for municipal building plan reviewers, helping understaffed city departments check construction documents for code compliance. The tool lets a single reviewer cover the work that would otherwise require far more staff, cutting the time between permit application and approval. It replaces manual, page-by-page plan review and the administrative backlog that slows permit issuance.
Go-to-market
City building departments are the primary customer, reached through direct engagement with municipal governments that are under pressure to process more permits with fewer reviewers.

AI co-pilot for building plan review and building code compliance
City building departments are understaffed and overworked. Meanwhile, builders lobby to remove power from building departments. Because building departments are usually the only profitable/self-sustaining branch of a local government, this is problematic. Permitify allows city build-plan reviewers to 10x their productivity covering the labor shortage, reducing the time required to issue a building permit, and allowing the city government's only profitable branch to stay intact.
