For permit expediters

Run more permits per week. Without growing the team.

You know the towns. You know the clerks. You know which reviewers flag what. PermitGranted handles the rest — readiness scoring, cross-town intelligence, package normalization — so you can carry more jobs without losing the relationships you built.

We’re looking for the 30 highest-volume expediters in our covered states. Early partners get pricing locked in.
The honest pitch

We’re not here to replace you.

A lot of permit-tech companies pitch contractors with “cut out the expediter.” That’s a bad bet. Expediters earn their fee on the parts of permitting that software can’t touch — the clerk you’ve known for ten years, the inspector who answers your text on a weekend, the “they prefer it like this” knowledge that lives nowhere except in your head.

What software CAN do is the mechanical work — reading the code, scoring the package, normalizing the file structure, tracking cross-town requirements. Hand that to PermitGranted. Keep doing what you do well.

What we take off your plate

The mechanical parts. The repetitive parts.

Readiness score on every job

Before a package leaves your office, see what a plan reviewer would flag. Catch missing forms, code conflicts, drawing issues — fix them once, not after a revision letter.

Cross-town intelligence

Every town's quirks in one place — preferred formats, common rejection reasons, fee schedule, submission method. The knowledge you've built lives in the tool, not just in your head.

Package normalization

File naming, drawing sequence, title-block compliance, document organization — all to each town's preference. You stop being the one renaming PDFs at 9pm.

Status across every job

Every permit you're carrying, every town it's in, every stage of review — one dashboard. Plan-reviewer questions arrive in your inbox with the code section they're about.

Partnership program

For the 30 highest-volume expediters in our markets.

We’re building the platform with a small group of expediter partners — ones who carry real volume across multiple towns. If that’s you, the deal is unusually founder-friendly.

What you get
  • Early access to every feature we ship
  • Direct line to the founding team — feature requests land in our queue, not a support ticket
  • Locked-in partner pricing (well below the Pro tier)
  • Co-design on workflow features that match how you actually work
  • White-label option for client-facing portals
What we ask
  • Use it on real jobs — at least 5–10 permits per month
  • Share what works and what doesn't, candidly
  • Help us understand the towns you carry — their quirks, their preferences, the rules nobody writes down
  • No exclusivity — you can keep using whatever else you use
  • Honest feedback when our score is wrong (so the model improves)
Questions we get

What expediters ask first.

Are you going to undercut my fees with a 'cut out the middleman' pitch to my clients?

No. That's a bad business model for us and a worse one for the industry. Our pitch to contractors is 'use PermitGranted with the expediter you already trust.' We're not in the position-as-replacement business; we're in the make-you-faster business.

What happens to my institutional knowledge if it ends up in your system?

It's yours. The town quirks, the reviewer preferences, the workflow notes — you author them in your own workspace, and they stay with you. We don't share one expediter's notes with another. Aggregated patterns (e.g., 'this town averages 14 days for first review') are anonymized.

How is this different from the permit-tracking SaaS tools out there?

Most permit-tracking tools are dashboards. We do the actual code work — checking your packages against the building code your town uses, predicting reviewer comments, normalizing the file structure. Tracking is downstream of all that.

Can I bring my own forms and templates?

Yes. You upload your standard package templates, your client-facing letterhead, your firm's preferred drawing conventions. We render to those defaults on every job.

What's the price?

Partner pricing is significantly below the Pro tier ($149/mo + $25/permit). Reach out and we'll walk through it — anchored on the volume you're carrying.

Which towns do you cover today?

Jersey City, NJ today. We add jurisdictions on request — typically within 10 business days from first request. If your top-volume towns aren't covered, tell us in the partnership email and we'll prioritize them as part of onboarding.

Try it on one of your jobs.

Pick a permit you’re working on right now. Run the readiness score. See whether it catches what you’d catch. If yes, let’s talk partnership.
