This eliminates manual paperwork and reduces permit processing time by up to 75%.
How This Automation Works
New electrical project created or scheduled → Completed permit application submitted to municipal authority
Project Data Capture
System automatically monitors your project management system for new electrical projects. When detected, it extracts all relevant information including project address, scope of work, electrical specifications, load calculations, and contractor details.
Jurisdiction Identification
Based on project location, the system identifies the correct municipal authority, retrieves current permit requirements, applicable electrical codes, required forms, and submission procedures specific to that jurisdiction.
Form Population and Validation
The system automatically completes all required permit application forms using extracted project data, validates electrical code compliance, checks load calculations, verifies contractor licensing requirements, and ensures all mandatory fields are complete.
Documentation Assembly
System compiles supporting documents including circuit diagrams, load calculations, site plans, equipment specifications, and contractor certifications, ensuring all attachments meet municipal format and content requirements.
Automated Submission
Complete application package is submitted directly to the municipal permitting portal through secure API connections or email, with submission confirmation captured and stored for audit trails.
Status Monitoring and Notifications
System continuously monitors permit status, automatically retrieves updates from municipal systems, sends notifications for status changes, approvals, or rejection reasons, and maintains a complete history of all interactions.
How It Works
Transform your electrical permit application process from hours of manual data entry to automated submissions in minutes. This system automatically extracts project details, validates electrical code requirements, completes permit forms, and submits applications directly to municipal authorities. Track permit status in real-time, receive automatic notifications for approvals or rejections, and maintain a complete audit trail of all compliance documentation. Perfect for electrical contractors managing multiple projects across different jurisdictions, reducing administrative overhead while ensuring faster project starts and consistent regulatory compliance.
The Trigger
When a new electrical installation, upgrade, or repair project is entered into your project management system, the system automatically initiates the permit application process by extracting all relevant project specifications, location details, and scope of work information.
The Action
The system automatically populates all required permit forms with project data, validates electrical code compliance, attaches supporting documentation such as load calculations and circuit diagrams, and submits the complete application package to the appropriate municipal permitting portal with confirmation tracking.
Common Use Cases in Electrical
