The Permit Expediters Can't Afford to Miss a Call
Missed After-Hours Inquiries Cost $2,500+ Per Project in Lost Revenue
With 62% of calls going unanswered after 5 p.m. and during weekends—when homeowners and contractors are most active—Permit Expediters lose critical inquiries. A single missed call from a client needing a zoning permit for a new garage can delay the entire project timeline by 10–14 days, costing $2,500+ in labor and scheduling ripple effects. Without immediate follow-up, clients often abandon the process or switch to competitors.
Clients Submit Lot Numbers Instead of Physical Addresses—100% of Permit Rejections Linked to This Error
Shelby County Building Department rejects 100% of applications submitted with only a lot number due to the mandatory physical address requirement. In one case, a client submitted plans for a 2,400 sq. ft. home with only a lot number, resulting in a 12-day delay and $380 in resubmission fees. The AI receptionist now validates the physical address in real time, ensuring compliance before submission.
Zoning Permits from Triple S Planning Are Overlooked—100% of Building Permit Rejections Stem from This Gap
Permit Expediters routinely face building permit rejections because clients skip the mandatory Zoning permit from Triple S Planning. In Q1 2024, 17 out of 23 building permit applications were rejected due to missing zoning approvals. The AI now prompts clients to confirm they’ve secured their Zoning permit and verifies the permit number before proceeding with the building application.

Real Results from Real Businesses
“We lost three clients last year because we missed their 8:45 p.m. calls—each had a septic system permit due the next day. Since switching to Answrr, we’ve captured every after-hours inquiry, verified physical addresses in real time, and reduced our average permit issuance timeline from 21 days to 14. The AI even reminds clients to submit their site plan drawn to scale before we file. It’s been a game-changer.”
Derek Thompson
Founder & Lead Permit Expediter, Permit Expediters
“I was skeptical about AI handling zoning permit checks, but the system now automatically asks clients if they’ve obtained their Triple S Planning Zoning permit and cross-references the permit number. We’ve gone from 4 rejections in Q1 to zero in Q2. The AI even flags incomplete sets of house plans before submission—saving us hours of back-and-forth.”
Linda Chen
Senior Permit Coordinator, Permit Expediters
“Before Answrr, we were missing 30% of inspection bookings because clients forgot to schedule their framing inspection.
