PermitPulse

PermitPulse is a web + mobile app (traditional + AI) that tracks and predicts permitting timelines for common sustainability retrofits (heat pumps, EV chargers, solar + storage, insulation, panel upgrades). Homeowners and contractors enter an address and scope, and the app pulls jurisdiction rules, required forms, typical review steps, fees, and inspection checkpoints. It then gives a realistic timeline forecast based on local backlog signals (historical permit durations, seasonal volume, staffing notices, and user-reported milestones). The app generates a permit-ready checklist and a “missing items” report to reduce rejections (site plan, load calc, equipment spec sheets, contractor license/insurance). It’s not a magic approval machine; it’s a visibility and error-reduction tool that saves weeks of dead time and prevents costly resubmissions. Monetization: contractor seats + homeowner one-off “permit pack” purchases.
