# How can a contractor, developer or facilities team use AI to prepare building and operating permit applications faster without missing requirements or misstating anything to the authority?

Start from the permit authority’s published requirements and forms, your past applications and the project documents you already have, and agree who owns each application and who signs it. AI builds a checklist of required documents and fields for the permit type, fills drafts from project records, flags missing drawings, signatures, fees or reports, and tracks each application’s status and reviewer comments. A responsible person checks every page against the source documents and the authority’s current rules before submitting, licensed professionals still sign anything that legally requires them, and the system never submits on its own.

## What this means in practice

- Start from the authority’s published requirements and past applications.
- Build a checklist of required documents and fields for each permit type.
- Fill drafts from project records and flag anything missing.
- Have a responsible person check every page before submitting.
- Keep licensed sign-offs and never submit automatically.

## How Lid Vizion approaches it

We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.
