Residential permitting · Vancouver founding beta

Find permit deficiencies before the City does.

Permitily helps architects, designers and builders identify missing information, inconsistencies and potential permit deficiencies before submission.

AI-native technology. Human-reviewed findings. A clearer way forward.

Invitation-only. Project scope and beta capacity are confirmed individually.

The expensive part
is finding out late.

A well-prepared team can still miss a requirement, an inconsistency or a supporting document.

Finding it during municipal review means more revisions, coordination and waiting. Late corrections can tie up design hours, disrupt schedules and delay payment milestones.

The familiar loop
  1. Prepare the package
  2. Submit to the City
  3. Discover a gap
  4. Revise and review again.

What if the preventable gaps came to light before submission?

160 days.

Vancouver’s reported 2025 single-detached home permit processing time.

When permitting can take months, why let preventable gaps enter the review process?

A few useful distinctions

Before you ask.

Can I request a review today?

Yes. Applications are open for Vancouver’s founding beta. Tell us about your project, and we’ll confirm eligibility and available review capacity.

Does this replace the City’s checklist?

No. Municipal checklists and portals remain important. We review the supplied package within an agreed scope.

Does a review guarantee a permit?

No. Permitily does not issue permits, certify compliance or replace professional or municipal decisions.

Should I send drawings with my request?

No. Use the form for a brief enquiry. Do not include drawings, addresses or confidential material.
