Our take
Aiming to create value in the construction market currently worth over $1.5 trillion, San Francisco-based PermitFlow is a construction permit application and management platform for builders and owners.
For too long, builders have been shuffling through the unique processes of municipalities, whereas now PermitFlow offers a standardized permit application workflow through which users can easily prepare and submit permit applications, receive approvals, and respond to municipal comments on one single platform. This saves time, reduces errors and shortens municipal review cycles, ultimately speeding up the time taken to permit.
In partnership with TraceAir, PermitFlow is set to transform construction project management by combining advanced technologies. This collaboration aims to enhance efficiency and reliability, creating a more streamlined process that benefits builders and stakeholders across the nation.
