Clients arrive with the homework done.
PermitGranted is where homeowners and contractors turn their renovation idea into a permit-ready packet. When the project legally needs a licensed architect’s stamp, you pick up where they left off — code-checked plan, scope, address, all already in the file.
You stamp drawings — not chase down measurements.
When a client requests you on the marketplace, they’ve already taken photos, drawn the floor plan, identified the work, and run a code check. You skip the discovery phase entirely.
The plan has been checked against the building code your client’s town uses — every applicable section with a pass/fail. You see exactly what needs your attention before you accept the job.
You review, revise, stamp. Nothing files without your sign-off. Your seal stays yours — we don’t resell it, we don’t apply it without your explicit confirmation.
From client request to issued permit, in five steps.
Their project lands in your inbox: scope, address, photos, floor plan, code check. You see everything they’ve done before you decide whether to take the job.
One form. Fee, timeline, scope of your work. Optional terms attached. Client accepts or asks for revisions.
Whatever needs your professional judgment — structural review, code interpretation, final drawings, specifications. You upload deliverables when ready.
Stamped drawings get attached to the client’s permit packet. You confirm the seal application; we never use your stamp without explicit click-through.
Direct payout once the client confirms the work is done. No expediter middle-man, no payment-collection rigmarole.
Real architects only.
Every architect on the marketplace gets license-verified before they can take a client. We check your number against the state board directory, confirm it’s active, and only then your profile goes live.
Suspended, revoked, or lapsed licenses don’t make it through verification. We re-check periodically.
Every client review is tied to a real engagement that actually happened in the system. No drive-by ratings.
Bio, specialties, portfolio examples, project preferences (we’ll match you with the right kind of work).
Your license covers a specific state. We only route projects from that state to you. If your license is multi-state, you can opt in to each.
What architects ask first.
No. There’s no subscription. You see jobs that match your license and project preferences, and you take the ones you want. If you don’t take any, you don’t pay anything.
We’re finalizing this — likely a small percentage of the engagement fee, in line with industry-standard marketplaces. The percentage is shown upfront on every job before you accept.
You are. The same as if a client had walked into your office with a project — your seal, your responsibility. We’re a marketplace, not a co-signer. Our terms make this explicit.
Residential renovations — basements, additions, ADUs, decks, kitchens, bathrooms. Anything where a homeowner used PermitGranted to start a project and then hit our 'this needs an architect' threshold. We route by license state and your stated specialties.
Client pays through Stripe. After they confirm your deliverables are accepted, the platform releases payment to you. Industry-standard payout timeline.
Yes — once your license is verified, you can browse active requests in your state and see the scope, photos, code check, and proposed fee range before deciding to bid.
Apply in about three minutes.
Your name, your license number, and your state. We verify against the state board directory and let you know within a couple of business days.
