The Problem

Code review the old way is broken.

01
Expensive

Code consultants charge $5,000–$10,000 per review. For every project. Every revision.

02
Slow

3–5 business days minimum. That is 3–5 days of project delays, missed deadlines, and holding costs.

03
Unpredictable

Different consultants flag different issues. No consistency. No transparency. No audit trail.

The Old Way

You submit. Then you wait.

Every architect knows the feeling. Weeks perfecting the design. The drawings are done. Then you submit to a code consultant — and wait. And when the comments finally come back, there are dozens of items flagged. Some real, some not. Now you're back at the drawing board, your client is calling, and the project is delayed before it ever broke ground.

Built by someone who understands the problem

I have been in and around commercial construction my entire career. The one thing that never made sense to me was why catching a code issue takes two weeks and costs thousands — when it could be caught in 20 minutes.

Permit delays cost the construction industry billions every year and most of them are preventable. I built PermitPrep.AI to change that — putting the power of a professional code review in your hands before you ever walk into a building department. Not to replace the expertise of licensed professionals, but to make every architect, engineer, and contractor on the project team smarter before submission day.
