PermitFlow

Steel and aluminum tariffs doubled in June, and copper followed on August 1. If your projects use rebar, conduit, or HVAC line sets, you’re paying a hefty premium. And that’s on top of the wild price fluctuations we’ve experienced in recent years. Higher tariffs are out of your hands, but efficiency isn’t. Here’s where you can claw back margin: 1️⃣ 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘇𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆. Add shorter bid validity windows or escalation clauses so you’re not locked into yesterday’s numbers. 2️⃣ 𝗢𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿. Pre-purchase long-lead metals and store on site or with a supplier partner before another bump hits. 3️⃣ 𝗘𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘀. Streamline delay-prone activities — permits, inspections, AHJ coordination — so your team can install without delay. If you move quickly from contract to closeout, you just might be able to outrun the cost curve.

Construction added 15,000 jobs in June. It’s a welcome sign when, for so long, our industry has been stretched thin by labor shortages, rising material costs, and evolving regulatory hurdles. But more jobs means more moving parts. And while hiring is up in some areas, that doesn’t mean capacity has caught up. Growth doesn’t just depend on labor availability. It depends on how 𝘦𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺 jobs move from sale to install. Permits. Inspections. AHJ coordination. Scheduling. Delays. Rework. These are bottlenecks that define whether this optimism turns into real, scalable output — or just another seasonal bump. Now, in the midst of seemingly promising growth, the question is: Can we keep pace operationally? #Construction #Homebuilding #SkilledTrades #ConstructionIndustry #ConstructionTrends #Contractors #ConTech

Plenty of contracting and construction businesses want to grow, but aren’t set up to scale efficiently. It’s not because they lack technical skill or job opportunities — but because growth creates friction. There’s more paperwork to tackle. More employees to manage. More responsibilities to juggle. Suddenly, the systems that worked before start to break. Our 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 shows you how to adapt with new systems — ones that let you take on more work without burning out, and eliminate the bottlenecks that wreck your project timelines and kill your margins. Whether you’re trying to break your record revenue or get off the hamster wheel of chasing jobs — this one’s worth the read. 🔗 Link in comments 👇 #ConstructionBusiness #ConTech #Contractors #ConstructionManagement #SmallBusinessGrowth #BuildingPermits #Builders

Poor permitting doesn’t just slow down your jobs — it caps your capacity. Application errors, slow AHJ responses, back-and-forth emails… the delays add up fast. And that bottleneck keeps your team stuck in place instead of moving onto the next project. If you want to grow, that’s the real cost of a poor permitting process: 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲, 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗺, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗷𝗼𝗯𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿.

Every variable on every job is a risk. Especially where permits are concerned. When every jurisdiction has its own rules, regulations, and acceptance criteria, having a buttoned down permit process is a necessity. That's why we wrote the guide (a few of them, actually) that helps you standardize and scale your permit process, starting today.
