Know your price before you hand over the estimate.
PermitLogic is a CRM for contractors. Other CRMs track your jobs. This one tells you what to charge for the next one: every estimate is checked against the jobs you’ve already done, what you charged, what you won and what it really cost. Then it runs the rest: schedule, crews, change orders, invoices and payments.

Where your number stands.
Before an estimate goes out, PermitLogic looks at your past jobs like this one.
- Your similar jobs
- Same kind of work, close in size: what you charged, whether you got it, and what it cost by the time it was done.
- A suggested price
- Covers your real costs, your overhead and the extra drive on far-out jobs, at the profit you set. It also shows the price where you’ve been losing bids.
- Warnings
- A price below cost, a thin margin, a line you usually include (like the dumpster), or a crew that keeps running over the hours you quote.
- Ask why
- Ask PermitLogic, the assistant on every plan, explains the suggestion using your numbers. It doesn’t change your price; you do.
See what you actually made.
Profit and loss, break-even and what each lead source costs you, on one screen. Only owners and admins see it.

Questions
More in the full FAQ, or call us at (866) 464-1540.
Does the AI set my prices?
No. The price check works out a suggestion from your own estimates, job costs and crew hours. Ask PermitLogic, the assistant on every plan, explains it. You decide the price, every time.
What if I don’t have past jobs in it yet?
You start with your trade’s price book at typical U.S. prices. The price check gets more accurate as you send estimates, mark them won or lost and log job costs.
Who can see my overhead and profit?
Only owners and admins see overhead, ad spend and profit and loss. Anyone who writes estimates sees the price check on their own estimates.
Do my clients need an account?
No. They sign estimates and change orders and pay invoices from a link. If they want more, invite them to Sully, our free homeowner app: they can follow the job, message you, send change requests and approve change orders there.
Does it work with QuickBooks?
Yes. QuickBooks Online is built in, and every plan exports for QuickBooks and Xero. Enterprise can request connectors for other systems. See integrations.
Is there an iPhone app?
Yes. PermitLogic is on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, and runs in any browser. Sully, the homeowner app, is on the App Store too, and runs on the web.
