Know your scope, verify your work, pass inspection on the first try.
GC shares the project folder Monday morning. In 5 minutes, PermitSage inventories all 33 plumbing fixtures, checks each against the plumbing code, and flags 2 items that don't meet minimum count requirements — before rough inspection is even scheduled.
Use cases
Generate a complete materials inventory from the plan set in minutes
PermitSage reads your trade-specific plan sheets and produces a complete materials and fixture inventory — with quantities, locations, and specification references. What used to take hours of manual plan markup and counting takes minutes. For a plumbing contractor, that's a verified fixture list before procurement begins.
Verify your scope meets code before calling for inspection
Before scheduling inspection, PermitSage checks your installation against the applicable code (NEC, IPC, IMC, IBC) and the approved plans. A failed inspection means a rescheduled day, a crew that can't work in that area, and a GC who remembers. Catching the issue yourself first costs nothing.
Document field discrepancies before installing non-compliant work
When the field condition doesn't match the plans, PermitSage identifies the discrepancy, finds the affected code sections, and references the relevant plan sheets — giving the GC exactly what they need to escalate an RFI to the architect. This protects you from installing work you'd have to rip out.
Answer GC questions with sheet numbers and code references in minutes
When the GC asks a scope question, PermitSage finds the answer in the indexed plans and code library and drafts a response with the exact sheet reference and spec section. GCs remember which subs answer fast and back it up with documentation.
