The chaos you know

The hidden problems slowing your business down

The Permit Pilot is built to eliminate these every day.

Plumbing schedules are tight, and the paperwork is the part that keeps slipping. A re-pipe held up because the rough-in inspection didn't get scheduled. A water-heater swap that should've taken an afternoon stretched into three trips because the permit posted late. Service techs running blind because nobody told them the inspector was coming at 9am.

Paperwork pulling crews off the truck

Office staff drowning in paperwork while crews wait on the next move.

Missed inspections

Inspections forgotten or unscheduled cost time, fees, and customer trust.

Lost documents

NOCs, permits, and inspection reports buried in shared drives.

Compliance pressure

Licenses and COIs slipping through the cracks at the worst possible time.

No clear job status

Without one source of truth, you can't tell which jobs are at risk.

Admin overhead killing margin

Hours of admin work for every job that should be helping you grow.

PermitSketch™

Protect your business from costly documentation mistakes

When inspectors, municipalities, or customers request clarification, searching through folders and emails wastes valuable time. PermitSketch™ gives contractors a centralized location to create, store, update, and share project layouts that support compliance and permit approvals.

Still Drawing Plumbing Layouts by Hand?

Plumbing contractors lose thousands of dollars every year on failed inspections, rough-in corrections, and fixture sketches that never reach the inspector clearly. PermitSketch™ eliminates paper sketches and scattered notes by giving contractors a simple way to create rough-in layouts, fixture locations, water heater and DWV diagrams, and re-pipe markups — mark up plans, add text, arrows, and documentation from anywhere.

  • Reduce permit corrections
  • Improve inspection readiness
  • Keep crews and office staff aligned
  • Document changes instantly
  • Store everything with the permit record
  • Avoid costly project delays

Create cleaner documentation. Pass inspections faster. Build the Empire. We'll Handle the Chaos.

Schedule, track, and document pass/fail outcomes and re-inspections.

Unlike traditional permit tracking software, The Permit Pilot includes an AI Co-Pilot designed to help contractors and office staff stay organized, reduce administrative workload, and instantly access important job information.

A proactive business assistant

  • Locate permit information instantly
  • Check permit and inspection status
  • Identify missing documents
  • Surface jobs needing attention
  • Find outstanding customer signatures

  • Monitor permit deadlines

Ask Co-Pilot

Real questions contractors ask every day:

  • "What jobs are missing documents?"

Let AI Co-Pilot help you spend less time searching and more time growing your business.

Benefits

Spend less time chasing paperwork. More time growing your business.

Most contractors don't lose deals because the work is bad — they lose them because permits, inspections, and paperwork quietly fall behind. The Permit Pilot pulls that overhead off your plate so you can spend the day on revenue, not recovery.
