The permit layer Canada has been missing.
Canada’s First AI-Powered Construction Permit Infrastructure and Operating System
Built for contractors first — launching in BC and expanding nationwide.
Permitting in Canada Is Fragmented, Slow, and Unpredictable
Each municipality has its own rules, forms, and approval logic — with no unified infrastructure. Contractors are forced to navigate inconsistent requirements, unclear documentation, and manual workflows that waste time and create bottlenecks.
- Every city = a different process
- No standardization or visibility
- Rejections caused by guesswork
- Lost billable hours
- Homeowners left confused and dependent
Permits are not a building issue — they are a process issue.
From Manual Obstacle to Intelligent, Automated Workflow
PermitWave guides, interprets, and prepares permit applications end-to-end — not as a consultant, but as a digital operating layer that executes the process on behalf of the contractor. Instead of outsourcing confusion, PermitWave eliminates it.
How It Works
Describe the Project
Input scope, address, and basic details. We infer municipal context automatically.
Get the Requirements
AI interprets local rules and builds a tailored checklist and forms.
Auto-Build the Package
We standardize documents and validate pre-submission to prevent rejections.
Submit & Track
Sync the workflow with the municipality and reduce delay cycles.
AI That Doesn’t Just Advise — It Executes
Our intelligence layer learns municipal rules, interprets requirements, and prevents rejections before they happen — improving with every permit outcome. This isn’t a chatbot; it’s applied intelligence and institutional memory.
Infrastructure, Not Paperwork
Standardizes documentation
Builds compliant packages automatically
Validates before submission
Synchronizes workflow steps
Reduces delay cycles with municipalities
Makes permitting repeatable and predictable
Defensibility: Triple Moat
Tech Moat
AI + execution automation — far beyond UI or form-fillers.
Data Moat
Evolving municipal rule logic and case knowledge that compounds.
Network Moat
Contractor adoption locks in demand; switching becomes unlikely.
Expansion Strategy
- BC First (Residential): capture demand and learn deeply at the municipal level.
- Canada Next: standardize multi-city rule logic and compound the data moat.
- Commercial Future: extend workflows for high-value projects.
