Permit Application & Inspection Scheduler
A done-for-you construction automation built for the Construction Office Manager, connecting Jotform, Slack, and Google Calendar so the work below happens on its own.
What this automation does, step by step
As soon as a project hits the permitting stage, this automation generates the correct permit application forms pre-filled with project details, sends reminders to the responsible party to submit them by the target date, and (once permits are in hand) schedules required inspections based on the project timeline.
The office manager gets an alert any time an inspection is coming up in the next 72 hours, so nothing gets missed in the middle of a busy job calendar.
- Project management software (e.g., Procore or Buildertrend)
- Zapier or Make.com
- Google Calendar (inspection scheduling)
- Jotform or Google Forms (permit checklist)
- Email or Slack (alerts)
Using different software? We build around what you already have, so you never have to switch tools to automate.
The manual way vs. the automated way
Without automation
Without automation, a construction office manager has to notice problems after they've already happened, then scramble to fix them manually one at a time. It rarely feels urgent in the moment, but it adds up fast.
With this automation
- Expiration and renewal alerts on a 90, 60, and 30 day countdown
- Signature and document chasers that escalate on their own
- Deadline tracking for filings, permits, and inspections
- An automatic audit trail of every notice sent
