Talk to a live permit advisor
Speak with a live avatar about how to prepare a building permit application — or, if your plans are already in review, what plan check flagged and how to correct it. Ask out loud and get an answer back in plain language.
Your browser will ask for microphone access so you can speak with the advisor.
Before you submit
Get the submittal package right the first time — drawings, forms, fees, and the zoning checks that stop most applications at intake.
- “What drawings do I need for a residential addition permit?”
- “Which application forms and fees apply to an ADU in my city?”
- “How do I confirm my setbacks and lot coverage before I submit?”
- “Does my project need a Title 24 energy compliance report?”
- “How long does plan check usually take for a remodel?”
After you submit
Understand your correction notice, why plan check flagged each item, and exactly what a compliant resubmittal looks like.
- “What does this plan check correction actually mean?”
- “Why was my rear setback flagged as non-compliant?”
- “Which sheets do I need to revise before resubmitting?”
- “What are the most common reasons plans fail first review?”
- “How do I write a response letter to the plan checker?”
How it answers
Grounded in the same regulatory model
The advisor draws on normalized jurisdiction rules rather than general web content, so answers stay tied to the code that actually applies.
Jurisdiction-aware
Answers are scoped to the jurisdiction you name, using the same normalized regulatory model that powers Blueprint Review.
Traceable to a source
Every substantive answer points back to a code section, ordinance, or adopted amendment with its last verified date.
Escalates when unsure
If no authoritative source supports an answer, the advisor says so and routes the question to jurisdiction staff.
