Permit tracking service for HVAC and sitework contractors
HVAC and sitework contractors need permit status and deposit refund tracking.
Why it can work
- Permits for heat pumps and generators take weeks or months.
- Permit status sits in city portals, spreadsheets, and email.
- Refundable permit deposits stay tied up after jobs finish.
Watch out
- Cities use different portals and rules, hard to standardize.
- Integrating with project tools may need custom work.

The job to be done
Track permit status and deposit refunds
When city permits for heat pumps, generators, and sitework take weeks or months and refundable deposits sit tied up after jobs finish, contractors need to see permit status and know when refunds are due, so they can keep projects moving and recover their money.
