  3. 03

    Keep the record together

    Record external submissions, municipal returns and inspections as the job progresses.

Planning

Which permits apply is still unconfirmed.

Clarity you can check

Keep the source. Keep the history.

Permit work needs a record you can follow. PermitLane keeps sources and recorded outcomes attached to the work they explain.

Sources stay attached

A project uses a recorded playbook snapshot, with the exact official-source revisions it relies on.

History stays readable

Submissions, reviews and inspection outcomes are recorded as events. Later work adds to that history.

Your team stays responsible

Municipal submissions and review happen outside PermitLane. The City decides the outcome.

A clear boundary for software decisions

A model determines permit applicability automatically from the exact official-source revision recorded for the project. An authorized person can override the determination, and that override is recorded. If there is no usable answer, applicability remains unconfirmed. It never means no permit is needed. A software determination is not a municipal decision or professional advice, and does not guarantee approval.

A few things worth knowing

Your questions, answered.

Who is PermitLane for?

PermitLane is being built for Calgary renovation and general contractors who coordinate permit work across multiple jobs and a small team.

Which projects is it designed for?

The initial scope is Calgary basement development, secondary suites within the principal dwelling and new private detached garages. Availability depends on published playbooks and their current source coverage; this preview is not a municipal requirements guide.

Does PermitLane submit applications to the City?

No. Your team uses the municipal portal, pays fees and communicates with the City. PermitLane organizes the work and records the submissions, returns and inspections your team reports.

Who determines which permits apply?

A model uses the exact official-source revision recorded for the project to make a determination. An authorized person can override it. Missing or unusable answers remain unconfirmed. The result is not a municipal determination, professional advice or an approval guarantee.

What can the homeowner see?

A limited project update selected by the server for sharing. It does not give access to private documents, internal notes or the full project record. Your team can revoke the link.

Can I subscribe now?

Subscriptions are not available yet. Pricing, billing periods and plan details will be published before contracting opens. Existing team members can still sign in to their workspace.

Bring the next permit step into focus.

Give every job a clear place for its requirements, responsibilities and next action.
