What the 30 minutes looks like
Four steps, about 30 minutes total.
Upload a real plan set · ~5 min
You bring a recent submittal or plan set. We upload it live on the call — no sample data, no pre-processing, nothing shared or used to train models.
Watch the parallel discipline scan · ~5 min
Permit Junkie runs building, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire, and zoning passes in parallel and streams progress while it works. Most packets finish in under a minute.
Review the findings against your own code · ~10 min
Every finding cites the adopted code edition and your local amendments, with the sheet and detail it came from, so your reviewers can confirm or dismiss it in seconds.
Take the marked-up packet and next steps · ~10 min
You leave with the highlighted PDF, a corrections summary page, and a written plan for running Permit Junkie alongside your existing permitting system — no system swap required.
Demo questions, answered
What to expect before you book — no sales gate.
- Do we have to replace our permitting software to use Permit Junkie?
- No. Permit Junkie runs alongside your existing permitting system. Reviewers upload or forward a submittal, get an AI pre-review, and keep issuing permits of record in the system you already use.
- Can you review our own local amendments and ordinances?
- Yes. We ingest your adopted code editions, local amendments, and ordinance text so review comments cite your jurisdiction's rules, not just the model code.
- Who should attend from our city or county?
- Typically the building official or plan review supervisor, one reviewer per discipline you care about, and whoever owns your permitting software. Three to five people works well.
- How long is a Permit Junkie demo?
- About 30 minutes. We walk through a real plan set end to end — upload, parallel discipline review, the marked-up PDF, and the corrections summary — then leave time for your questions.
- Is the demo free?
- Yes. Demos are free, there is no commitment, and you do not need a credit card. You can also start on the free tier without talking to anyone.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I always need a municipal permit?
- In most U.S. jurisdictions, yes — any municipal work that affects structure, life-safety, or utility connections requires a permit. Permit Junkie checks your local rules against your project scope so you never guess.
- How long does a municipal permit take to approve?
- Approval times vary by municipality and project complexity — from 24 hours for a counter permit to 6–12 weeks for plan review. Permit Junkie's Municipality Intelligence shows live processing times for every jurisdiction in our network.
