Why Permitting Matters Right Now
Housing Crisis Impact
Each month of permitting delay adds $4,400 to housing costs, with median duration of 20 months.
Widespread Dissatisfaction
Two-thirds of homeowners, businesses, and developers are dissatisfied with current permitting processes.
Rising Costs
Home prices up 47% since 2020, rents up 26% nationwide, limiting accessibility.
Supply Shortage
The U.S. faces a shortage of 4 to 7 million homes, exacerbating the crisis.
The Housing Crisis and Our Response
Like much of the world, the United States faces an acute shortage of 4 to 7 million homes, with profound consequences. Home prices have surged 47% since early 2020, and rents are up 26% nationwide. For homebuyers, the median monthly mortgage payment exceeds $3,000, requiring an income of $119,800—only 14% of renter households qualify.
City Impact: 85% of Democrats and 77% of Republicans support streamlining permitting to expand supply.
Applicant Impact: Immediate clarity without delays, enhancing trust and satisfaction.
Our Vision
We see a future where advanced AI technology seamlessly transforms permitting into an intelligent, conversational workflow—free from delays, confusion, and red tape. Imagine systems that understand your project context, guide you proactively, and keep staff focused on what matters most.
City Impact: Staff focus on high-value code work instead of repetitive administrative tasks.
Applicant Impact: Clear, responsive path to faster, more predictable approvals.
