What contractors are saying.
★★★★★
"We were checking the Vancouver portal 3-4 times a day. Now we just get an email. Saved us from showing up to a site that wasn't cleared twice last month."

Dave M.
General Contractor · Vancouver, BC · Tracks 6 permits
★★★★★
"The cost calculator alone showed me how much we were losing. We had a crew on standby 3 days on a permit that was already approved. We just didn't know."
🏗️
Ryan K.
Renovation Contractor · Ottawa, ON · Tracks 4 permits
★★★★★
"Simple. Does exactly what it says. I track 8 permits right now and get an alert the moment anything moves. Worth every dollar."

The real cost of not knowing
What happens when you miss a permit update.
Most contractors find out their permit was approved hours — sometimes days — after it happened. Here's what that delay costs.
❌ Without PermitGreenlit
• Refresh portal 4–5 times daily
• Miss the update — find out next morning
• Crew shows up to a locked site
• Equipment sits idle all day
• Subcontractors reschedule
• Project timeline slips by days
• $2,000+ in avoidable standby costs
✅ With PermitGreenlit
• Checked every hour
• Email alert delivered within minutes
• You call your crew before end of day
• Site starts on schedule tomorrow
• Subcontractors coordinated in advance
• Zero standby days wasted
• $0 in avoidable delay costs
Typical contractor workflow
