Upload
Your work and the rulebook it has to meet — drawings & the building code, a zoning application & the bylaws, a permit package & the city's checklist.
Check
Every requirement in the rulebook is verified against your documents. Each flag shows the exact clause and where it's on the page.
Fix & submit
Resolve what's flagged before it reaches the gatekeeper. Submit knowing it's clean.
What getting it wrong costs
One rejection — a bounced permit, a kicked-back zoning application, a package sent back for revisions — costs weeks and thousands.
Most of it is preventable.

What you get
Citation-based compliance check
Every flag shows the exact clause from the rulebook — not a vague warning. You see what the requirement says, what your document shows, and whether it passes. No hallucinations.
No guessing. Specific section numbers every time.
See every issue in context
Click any flag and the workspace jumps straight to the page it references, with the cited clause beside it. No hunting through hundreds of pages to find what the AI means.
Every code, every discipline
Building codes, zoning bylaws, development standards, submission checklists — architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, civil. You bring the rulebook; the engine checks against it.
One tool from zoning to permit.
Why this exists
“The world needs more buildings. Every one of them is a potential home, school, or hospital for someone who's waiting on it.
And the need keeps growing. A population that keeps expanding. Climate change demanding buildings that can withstand it. Immigration adding families who need somewhere to live. Disasters that level whole neighborhoods and have to be rebuilt.
We have the architects. The engineers. The builders. The materials. What we don't have enough of is time — because between the decision to build and the building standing, there's a gate every project has to pass through: permits, compliance, bureaucracy. A missed clause. An incomplete package. A rejection. Weeks lost, while the need doesn't wait.
I come from construction. I've watched the one standing at that gate — package in hand, name on the filing — miss one clause buried in hundreds of pages, and pay for it in weeks lost, project after project.
We built Permitworks.ai to clear that gate. Catch what would get flagged, before it gets flagged. So what needs to get built, gets built sooner.”
