Sift every permit packet
before review.
PacketWise scans plans, forms, zoning context, and correction notes into one readiness view so teams can fix submission gaps before they become review delays.
AI-assisted. Explainable. Human-led. PacketWise never approves permits or replaces official review.

Packets fail quietly before they fail officially.
Most delays are decided long before a reviewer writes anything down — in the gaps nobody checked.
Missing forms
A required affidavit, an unstamped calc set, an unsigned authorization — the packet looks complete until intake opens it.
Zoning questions
Setbacks, height, coverage, and use notes disagree between sheets, and nobody catches it before the reviewer does.
Unclear corrections
Correction letters arrive dense and coded. Teams lose days deciding who owns what and which sheet has to change.
Packet precheck
Uploaded plans and forms become issue flags.
PacketWise indexes every sheet and form in the packet, compares it against the checklist for the permit type, and turns what's missing into flags with a readiness score your team can work down.

Correction translator
Bureaucratic correction language becomes assigned action items.
Paste or upload the correction letter. PacketWise restates each comment in plain language, links it back to the source line and sheet, and turns it into an owned task your team can track to resubmission.

Zoning context
Parcel and address context, checked against the plan set.
PacketWise pulls the parcel and address context for the project, lines it up against what the drawings actually show, and flags the differences your team should resolve or confirm before submitting.

Zoning context is reference information, not an official determination. Verify every requirement with the authority having jurisdiction before you submit.
Organized packets, with humans holding the controls.
PacketWise structures the submission so reviewers can start working immediately — and keeps every decision with your team.
Ordered packet
Cover, index, plan set, and supporting forms in a predictable order.
Issue trail
Every flag with its status, owner, and the sheet it points at.
Human review controls
Approve, reject, or reassign any AI-suggested item before it ships.
Submission record
What changed between versions, and when it was resubmitted.
Trust
Explainable by default, human-led by design.
PacketWise shows its work: where each item came from, how confident it is, and who signed off. Official review decisions stay with plan reviewers and zoning authorities.
Source-linked signals
PacketWise prepares source-linked readiness signals with confidence labels for human review.
Confidence labels
Each AI-produced item carries a confidence value so your team knows what to double-check.
Human determinations
Licensed professionals and official reviewers make final determinations.
Clear boundaries
PacketWise does not approve permits, certify code compliance, or issue official zoning determinations.
Measured results from teams already submitting with PacketWise.
Verified customer outcomes and a worked example of a packet issue caught before submission.
Customer case study
Sterling-Vance Development Group
Mid-market commercial developer · Atlanta, GA · Southeast US
“The friction wasn't in the design; it was in the assembly. We were losing three weeks per project just cycling through missing document signals that should have been caught before the upload. PacketWise effectively shifted our QA window from the city's desk to our own.”
- Baseline
- 2.4 incomplete rejections per packet

- 0.3 incomplete rejections per packet
- Result
- 88% reduction in initial submission kick-backs
Operating window: March 2025 – May 2026
