How This Automation Works
Project details finalized in system → Complete permit application submitted to municipality
Project Data Extraction
System automatically retrieves all relevant project information from your estimating or project management platform including customer details, installation specifications, product selections, project address, and scope of work when the project status changes to permit-ready.
Jurisdiction Identification and Form Selection
Based on the project address, the system identifies the correct municipal jurisdiction, retrieves current permit requirements, and selects the appropriate application forms and submission protocols specific to that building department.
Automated Form Population
All permit application forms are automatically completed using extracted project data, contractor information, and property details. The system applies proper formatting and ensures all required fields contain valid information.
Document Assembly and Attachment
Required supporting documentation is automatically gathered from your document repository including product specifications, engineering reports, installation plans, certifications, licenses, and insurance documents, then attached to the application package.
Compliance Validation
The system validates the complete application against local building codes and municipal requirements, checking for completeness, accuracy, and regulatory compliance. Any issues are flagged for review before submission.
Submission and Tracking
The complete permit package is submitted directly to the municipal permitting portal via API integration or electronic filing. The system generates a tracking number, records submission details, and begins monitoring application status for updates.
Status Monitoring and Notification
The automation continuously checks permit status, immediately notifying project managers and field teams of approvals, revision requests, or rejections. All status updates are synchronized back to your project management system for complete visibility.
How It Works
Window and door contractors face significant delays when manually preparing and submitting permit applications to local building departments. This automation transforms permit workflows by automatically generating compliant application packages, populating required forms with project data, attaching necessary documentation, and submitting directly to municipal systems. The system validates all information against local building codes, tracks application status, and notifies your team of approvals or required revisions. By eliminating manual data entry and ensuring completeness before submission, contractors reduce rejection rates, accelerate project timelines, and maintain comprehensive compliance records. The automation integrates with estimating systems, project management tools, and municipal permitting portals to create a seamless end-to-end permit process.
The Trigger
When a window installation project is approved and marked ready for permitting in your project management or estimating system, the automation immediately begins preparing the permit application package with all relevant project specifications, customer information, and installation details.
The Action
The system automatically generates all required permit forms, attaches engineering specifications and product certifications, validates compliance with local codes, and submits the complete application package to the appropriate municipal permitting portal while creating tracking records in your project management system.
