PermitPulse

PermitPulse is a web app (with a lightweight mobile companion) that helps homebuyers, small developers, and homeowners quickly understand what housing types are realistically feasible on a specific parcel: single-family, duplex, triplex, ADU, conversion, or rebuild. Users enter an address and get a plain-English feasibility snapshot: zoning constraints, likely approval path, typical review timelines, common rejection reasons, and a checklist of required documents. It also tracks local policy changes and permit office backlogs so users can avoid time-wasting projects. This is not a magic “instant approval” tool—data can be messy and cities vary wildly—so the app focuses on probability, effort, and next steps rather than false certainty. Monetization is subscription plus paid “permit readiness” reports that can be shared with lenders, agents, and contractors.
