AI co-pilot for building plan review and building code compliance
City building departments are understaffed and overworked. Meanwhile, builders lobby to remove power from building departments. Because building departments are usually the only profitable/self-sustaining branch of a local government, this is problematic. Permitify allows city build-plan reviewers to 10x their productivity covering the labor shortage, reducing the time required to issue a building permit, and allowing the city government's only profitable branch to stay intact.
Permitify is an AI co-pilot for building plan review and building code compliance, designed to accelerate site analysis and reduce risk for land development teams. It combines municipal data with AI workflows to help users identify constraints, verify feasibility, and make go/no-go decisions earlier in the process.
Site exploration and feasibility tooling that: browses parcels and zoning data, drills into a parcel to show zoning rules, overlays, access, and known limitations in one place; allows users to add project details (scope, use, assumptions) so the system evaluates feasibility in context; provides a clear feasibility review summarizing constraints, risks, approvals, and open questions; delivers source-backed answers with current municipal data, parcel-level intelligence, and context-aware analysis to surface relevant site information and edge cases before commitments.
Who it’s for: Land development teams and site planners evaluating parcels for feasibility and compliance before investing time and capital.
Mention of Y Combinator Sandbox and Google for Startups in the branding, indicating accelerator-backed traction; active product features and demo bookings imply ongoing development and early market validation.
Adam is the co-founder and CEO of Permitify. Before founding Permitify, I built and scaled a permit-expediting company with my co-founder, Alexander. Within the first month, we scaled from $0 to $40k ARR, serving clients across six states. While working to scale the business, we encountered the problems that we now solve with Permitify.
