Building permit expediter

Residential building
permits through
plan check — so
you're not waiting
on the city.

When it's "Crew's ready and we're still waiting on plan check," I own the chase — AI pre-submission review, filing, corrections, and daily status you can forward. Residential filing & chase is a flat $2,000. Commercial (incl. restaurants) is $3,500. Complex is custom quote. AHJ fees separate. You stay GC of record.

Chase the city
so your crew
doesn't wait.

You're not a production builder. You don't have a permit department. Someone still has to answer: who's chasing the city on this one?

Crew's ready and we're still waiting on plan check.

Idle days cost more than this fee. I chase so your crew stays on tools.

Comments came back and they've been sitting with the architect.

I own the correction loop — route, resubmit, and keep pressure on plan check.

I don't have time to live in the portal.

I live there. You get daily status you can forward to the client.

What's included

One flat fee.
I run the portal.

I package the set the way this AHJ wants it, chase plan check, and keep one status thread your PM can forward. Residential $2,000 · commercial $3,500 · complex quoted.

01

AI Plan Intelligence

Construction-trained AI reviews your plans pre-submission — flags gaps and inconsistencies before the AHJ does. Not a PE stamp. Not a guaranteed approval.

02

AHJ filing

I file with the authority having jurisdiction and track the submission from day one.

03

Plan-check relay

Comments come back clearly — I translate plan-check noise into action items for you and the design team.

04

Correction chase

I own the correction cycle: follow-ups, resubmittals, and pressure on plan check until it moves.

05

Fee coordination

I coordinate what to pay and when so nothing stalls. AHJ fees separate — paid by you or the owner, not inside my flat fee.

06

Daily status + handoff

Transparent status — no black-hole plan check. When you're clear, I hand off inspection scheduling so the site can keep moving.

How it works

What happens
if you buy.

From checkout to clear-to-build — here's the path. I chase; the city controls the clock.

01

You buy

Checkout, then go to intake at /start. That's where work begins.

02

You send the set

Plans + AHJ + job address. Design contact and where comments sit today help me move faster.

03

I run AI + file

AI Plan Intelligence on intake, then I file the way this AHJ wants it packaged.

04

I chase; you get daily status

Portal state / last action / next / blocker — I send even if nothing moved.

05

Clear to build

Clearance + inspection handoff so the site can keep moving.

I chase; city controls the clock. I can't promise an issue date the AHJ doesn't control — I can promise a named owner on the portal and daily status so you're never guessing.

AI Plan Intelligence

Catch problems
before the city does.

Included. Construction-trained review of the package pre-submission — so you don't burn the first cycle on an incomplete set.

  • ✓

    Pre-submission, not after the clock starts

    I flag gaps and inconsistencies while you still control the fix.

  • ✓

    Built for construction sheets

    Trained on construction plans — sheet logic, schedules, package completeness — then I still own filing and chase.

  • ✓

    Not a PE stamp / not guaranteed approval

    It does not replace your PE/architect (they still stamp; I chase them when needed) or the AHJ plan check. It reduces avoidable bounce-backs.

Included
In the $2,000 fee

Plan Intelligence runs on intake for every custom residential job I take. I still file and chase in person.

FAQ

Straight answers
before you buy.

What's included in the $2,000 fee?

AI Plan Intelligence pre-submission, AHJ filing, plan-check relay, correction chase, stamp chase when the set needs it, fee coordination, daily status you can forward, and inspection handoff when you're clear. Flat fee for one custom residential job. AHJ fees separate. I don't stamp as PE/architect.

Are AHJ / city fees included?

No. AHJ fees separate — always. I coordinate what to pay and when; you or the owner pay the city directly.

Who is this for?

Builders and GCs who need a building permit expediter. Residential $2,000 · commercial (incl. restaurants) $3,500 · complex quoted. Not homeowners shopping DIY permits.

How long until the permit issues?

I chase. The city controls the clock. I can't promise an issue date the AHJ doesn't control — I can promise a named owner on the portal and daily status so you're never guessing.

What does the AI review actually do?

Construction-trained pre-submission review to catch gaps and inconsistencies before filing. It is not a PE stamp and not a guaranteed approval. Your PE/architect still owns the stamp; I chase them when the city needs one. The AHJ still plan-checks.

Do you become GC of record?

No. You stay GC of record. I run filing, chase, and the portal under your job.

What if I'm only on online portals / out of my usual cities?

I take portal-native AHJs where I can file and chase online. If remote filing & chase won't work for your job, I'll tell you before you buy.

What happens after checkout?

You'll land on /start for intake — send the set, AHJ, job address, and where comments sit today. I start completeness + AI review, then file. You get daily status (portal state / last action / next / blocker — even if nothing moved). Call 623-256-7875 if you need to talk before or after.

Do you provide PE / architect stamps?

No — I don't stamp as a PE or architect. If the AHJ needs stamps, I chase them down with your design team until the set is stamp-ready and back in the portal. Their stamp fees are separate.

Refunds / scope if this isn't the right fit?

If after intake I can't take the job (wrong market, no portal path, or scope isn't custom residential filing & chase), I'll say so and refund before I file. Once I've filed and started chase, the fee is earned for that job. I chase stamps when the set needs them — I don't stamp as PE/architect, and I won't stretch into design or GC work.

About

You're not a
production builder.

You don't have a permit department — and your crew shouldn't wait on plan check.

Christopher Gallego

When the crew's ready and you're still waiting on plan check, someone has to answer: who's chasing the city on this one? If that's you — or your buried PM — the starts stack up, comments sit with the architect, and the client keeps asking for a status you don't have clean.

I run the portal so you don't live in it. You stay GC of record. I package the set the way this AHJ wants it, chase plan check, route corrections, and chase PE/architect stamps when the set needs them. You get daily status your PM can forward. AHJ fees stay separate. I don't stamp. I don't sell issue dates the city doesn't control.

The set through plan check to issued — dirt moving, you selling and scheduling trades — not sitting on hold with Development Services.
