Questions, answered straight.

PermitLogic is the CRM for contractors: estimates with a price check, jobs, crews, invoices and payments. Ask PermitLogic, the assistant built into every plan, explains the numbers from your own records. Sully is our app for homeowners and DIYers: it plans a project step by step, builds the materials list, tracks the budget and handles the permit side, starting with your town's own published rules.

Sully is the app's AI guide, a plain-spoken veteran-contractor character. Sully is not a real person, and never claims to have built, inspected or approved anything. Think of Sully as a patient guide who reads the rules with you and is honest about what he couldn't find.

TriLumen Systems, an independent software company in northeastern Pennsylvania. Our founder spent years in home-repair contracting and fourteen more running systems for a large retailer, and built the tools he wanted in the truck and in the office. More about us.

Homeowners and DIYers planning projects like decks, fences, sheds, roofs, bathrooms and electrical work; landlords and small flippers juggling several properties; and contractors, through PermitLogic Professional, with Enterprise for larger teams.

Sully is designed for any U.S. town. Sully uses the same research ladder everywhere: your town first, then the county, then the state, then the model code. Results depend on what your town publishes online. Some towns publish a lot, some very little.

No. Your local permit office decides. Sully helps you understand the published rules, prepare a complete application and know who to ask. It doesn't replace the office, an engineer or an attorney.

Sully reads your town's official site, permit, fee, code and zoning pages first, then the county, then the state, then the model code. Every rule is labeled with its source: Town, County, State or Model code, with a quote or paraphrase. Model code text is linked or paraphrased, never pasted.

The report says so plainly. It may show a county or state rule, clearly labeled, and suggests calling the office, with the questions to ask. We'd rather tell you about a gap than fill it with a confident guess.

Phone numbers, fees and quotes in your report are checked against the pages Sully actually read, so you can see where each one came from. If your town hasn't published a fee, the report says so.

Yes. If you have a link to your town's ordinance, a handout, or a page the office pointed you to, paste it in. Sully reads your links first.

Every rule has a "this looks wrong" button so you can flag it. Treat a flagged rule as one to confirm with your permit office before you rely on it.

No. Sully gives general guidance. For structural work, gas and major electrical work, talk to licensed professionals. Some towns require them.

A verdict (required, likely, unclear or not required), the rules grouped by source with labels and quotes, fees, who to call, the town's form when it's posted, ordered steps, common rejection reasons, and a plain note on whether to hire a pro.

One question at a time, and only the questions that change the answer: what you're building, where, how big, and the details that matter for that project type. You can start from a photo of a rough sketch.

Photograph a rough sketch, even on a napkin, and Sully turns it into a clean conceptual schematic with your dimensions and any missing ones called out. It's conceptual, not a survey or a stamped drawing.

Reports work for common residential projects: decks, fences, sheds, roofs, bathrooms, basements, electrical, plumbing, windows and doors, solar, pools and additions, and more. See our project guides.

Only from details you've confirmed. Each line shows the quantity, the waste allowance and the assumptions behind it. Missing measurements are called out instead of guessed.

Extra material to cover offcuts, defects and mistakes. Our waste allowance guide explains typical ranges.

A retailer picker turns each item into a plain store search at the retailer you choose. Today those are ordinary search links. If we ever join a retailer's affiliate program, the disclosure will sit right next to the links. See our affiliate disclosure.

A PDF with a cover sheet, your project details, the rules that apply with their sources, and a checklist of what your office asks for, plus a link to the town's real form when it's posted. You can email it to the office from the app.

No. It organizes what the office asks for so your application is complete. Your permit office reviews it and decides.

Denial recovery is included with a Sully Stamp or Sully Pro. Take a photo of the denial letter or paste its text, and Sully explains each reason, the fix and the steps to resubmit, using your letter and your town's own sources.

No. Price check suggests a price from your own past jobs, and you decide. Ask PermitLogic, the built-in assistant, only explains numbers worked out from your records. It never makes up a price.

Owners and admins. Business numbers, overhead and ad spend are private to them. Salespeople who write estimates see the price check on their estimates.

It works better with history, and it gets sharper as you send estimates, mark them won or lost, and log job costs. On day one, a starter price book for your trade gives you typical U.S. prices to start from.

PermitLogic, yes: it's on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and foldables, including iPhone Duo. Sully is on the App Store too, and runs on the web at sully.permitlogicai.com.

Hire a pro lets you choose to connect with professionals from inside the app, and you see what is shared first. We have no pro-matching partners today. If we add them in the future, we may earn a fee when you connect with a pro through them, and we'll disclose it right there. A fee would never change what your report says.

Only if you ask to connect with a pro, and only after you see what will be shared and agree. Details are in our privacy policy.
