Packet journey

From a messy stack to a reviewer-ready brief.

The same packet, five honest moments — each one moves the work closer to submission.

§Upload packet

Drop in everything you have.

Plans, application forms, supporting documents — PermitOS opens the packet and indexes what's inside.

Customer voices

What teams say about the workflow.

PermitOS helped us catch missing sheets and unclear notes before the packet went back to the city. It does not replace our review, but it gives the team a cleaner starting point.

Operations lead, residential design firm

The biggest help is the correction list. Instead of hunting through comments and emails, we can see what needs to be fixed, who owns it, and what is ready to resubmit.

Project coordinator, general contractor

For smaller projects, the precheck keeps applicants from submitting half-ready packets. Our reviewers still make the decisions, but the intake conversation starts cleaner.
