✅ Value Proposition 1: Custom Client Portal

Core idea: Instead of sending a bunch of texts, emails, and playing phone tag, clients get one clean dashboard with live updates on every project in every city.

💡What this solves:

Big companies — like Westfield Mall or McDonald’s — are working on dozens or even hundreds of construction projects at once. Each project might have a different architect, a different city with different permit rules, and sometimes even a different expediter.
Normally, this causes chaos. People lose track of emails. One team doesn't know what the other team is waiting on. The architect might be stuck waiting for the city, and the project manager might have no clue what’s going on.

🛠 What we built:

We give these companies a custom portal — basically a private website just for them — where they can:
See all their jobs in one place.
Click into any project to see if the permit is submitted, reviewed, or ready to go.
Get updates not only from us, but also from the architect, city reviewers, and even their own team members.
It’s like turning construction permitting into Domino’s Pizza Tracker — except for multi-million dollar projects.

🧠 Why this matters:

Instead of chasing updates, clients just log in and see everything.
They don’t need to hire someone just to “follow up on permits.”
It cuts down mistakes, saves time, and helps them launch stores faster.

✅ Value Proposition 2: Getting Permits Accepted Early

Core idea: We help clients get their permits approved faster and more smoothly — often before the rest of the team is even ready.

💡What this solves:

In construction, you can’t swing a hammer until the permit is approved by the city. That approval process can take weeks or even months.
Most companies either:
Wait until the architect finishes all the drawings…
Or they let the architect handle the permit submissions…
And guess what? Architects are focused on the design. Permitting isn’t their top priority. This causes delays because:
They submit incomplete applications.
They forget city-specific rules.
They don’t follow up quickly when a city requests changes.
All of this adds up to one thing: the entire job gets delayed.

🛠 What we do:

We jump in early, even before the architect finishes everything. We:
Prepare forms and paperwork ahead of time.
Know exactly what each city requires (because we’ve done it there before).
Go to the city office in person if needed, so things don’t get stuck in a digital black hole.
We don’t just send in a permit and hope. We track it, manage corrections, and push to get it approved on the first try.

🧠 Why this matters:

Let’s say a Raising Cane’s is planning to open 20 stores this year. If we get just one permit accepted 2 weeks faster, that store opens 2 weeks earlier — which means:
They start making money sooner.
Their team isn’t sitting around waiting.
Their investors and executives are happier.
Now imagine we do that for every store — that adds up to millions in revenue that would’ve otherwise been delayed.

✅ Value Proposition 3: Nationwide Presence

Core idea: We operate in almost every city in the U.S. with local reps who understand how to get permits approved in their area. That’s a huge advantage.

💡What this solves:

Permitting rules aren’t the same everywhere. The rules in Miami are different from Seattle, which are different from Los Angeles, which are totally different from Des Moines, Iowa.
Some cities are online. Some still require paper. Some cities respond to emails. Some cities won’t respond unless you show up in person.
If a construction company only works locally, they might be used to one system. But once they try to open stores in multiple states? It’s a nightmare to keep track of.

🛠 What we do:

We’ve already done permits in almost every major city in the U.S. We have reps who:
Know the city officials by name.
Understand the local quirks (like needing 3 copies of a plan printed double-sided, or using a specific outdated PDF form).
Can physically walk into the building department and talk to the reviewer face-to-face.
No guessing. No Googling. Just efficient execution.

🧠 Why this matters:

Let’s say a company is expanding nationwide — like Popeyes or Target. They don’t want to find a new expediter in each city. That’s:
Too risky
Too slow
Too inconsistent
We become their one-stop partner across the whole country. That consistency gives them speed, peace of mind, and control.
And because we’re everywhere, they don’t have to retrain new vendors every time they open in a new market.

✅ Value Proposition 4: Case Studies & Enterprise Expertise

Core idea: We’ve already helped major brands like Apple, Target, and Raising Cane’s—so we know how to scale, stay organized, and deliver exactly what large companies need.

💡What this solves:

Big companies don’t just want someone who can “get a permit.” They want a partner who understands:
How to work with lots of moving parts
How to scale across dozens of jobs
How to give them the structure and professionalism their teams expect
If a company like Apple is building 40 stores in a year, they need a permitting solution that:
Works in every city
Keeps their team in the loop
Doesn’t drop the ball on communication
Integrates into their system (not the other way around)
Most local expediters simply aren’t built for that.

🛠 What we bring:

We’ve helped some of the biggest brands in America with this exact challenge. We:
Set up custom workflows for their team.
Provide a dedicated enterprise rep who understands their rollout strategy.
Customize reporting to give visibility to execs, PMs, and architects across the org.
Are fast, accurate, and professional—no last-minute surprises.
Plus, we’ve documented everything we’ve done — with case studies that show:
How fast we moved
How many jobs we handled at once
How much we improved their permitting timelines

🧠 Why this matters:

When a decision-maker hears that we’ve worked with Target, Raising Cane’s, or Valley Fair, it gives instant credibility. It tells them:
“We don’t need to train this company. They’ve already done it.”
“We can trust them with sensitive timelines.”
“They’ve seen our kind of volume before and know how to handle it.”
It’s the difference between hiring a part-timer and hiring a battle-tested partner that can help them win the long game.

❌ Objection 1: “We already have someone who handles permits.”

They might be using an architect, assistant, or local expediter they've worked with for years and feel loyal to. What they’re really saying is, “We have a process, and we don’t want to rethink it unless there’s a major reason to.”

❌ Objection 2: “We do all our permitting in-house.”

This often means one or two people are doing permitting on top of their actual job, and they’re barely keeping up. They may not realize how much time and money they’re burning on avoidable delays or resubmittals.

❌ Objection 3: “We don’t do enough volume to justify bringing someone in.”

They think a permit partner is only for big chains doing 50+ projects a year. What they miss is that smaller teams benefit more, because they don’t have the time or staff to chase cities.

❌ Objection 4: “Our current system works fine.”

They’re used to slow, messy processes and see them as “normal.” Unless something is on fire, they don’t feel urgency to improve it.

❌ Objection 5: “We don’t need help with permits.”

This often means they’ve never had a real permitting partner, so they don’t know what “help” could look like. In reality, they’re probably unaware of the cost of the inefficiencies they’re living with.

❌ Objection 6: “We only build locally.”

They think a national partner is irrelevant or too expensive for their smaller geographic footprint. What they miss is that local permitting can still be unpredictable, and having a partner with structure and follow-up can still bring big wins.

❌ Objection 7: “We only use an expediter when something goes wrong.”

They treat expediters like firefighters instead of team members. This reactive approach costs them more time, stress, and delays than if they brought someone in from day one.

❌ Objection 8: “The architect takes care of that.”

They assume permitting is part of the architect’s job, without realizing most architects dislike doing it and often submit it late or incomplete. This can lead to major holdups that no one catches until it’s too late.

❌ Objection 9: “We’ve had bad experiences with expediters in the past.”

They’ve probably dealt with people who were disorganized, slow to respond, or ghosted them after submitting. Their trust has been broken — so now everyone is guilty until proven otherwise.

❌ Objection 10: “We don’t want to introduce another vendor into the process.”

They’re worried about adding complexity, managing more emails, or having someone slow down the chain of communication. What they’re missing is that a good partner reduces work, not adds to it.
