BudgetIQ\u2122 validates borrower budgets line-by-line using regional cost benchmarks, while PermitIQ\u2122 flags permit triggers across more than 20,000 jurisdictions and surfaces permitting triggers, requirements, fees, and active filings for a given property. <\/p>\n

Built to address the two most significant sources of friction at the start of a project, financial accuracy and regulatory readiness, the products deliver a faster, clearer go\/no-go and reduce costly surprises mid-build.<\/p>\n

\u201cToo many deals stall because budgets are guesswork and permit requirements\u2014especially in heavily regulated states like California\u2014are a byzantine maze of regulations,<\/em>\u201d said Bryan Kester<\/u><\/a>, Co-Founder and CEO of Sitewire. \u201cWith BudgetIQ\u2122 and PermitIQ\u2122, we turn guesswork into math and map out the permit path up front, so lenders fund with confidence, builders avoid false starts, and crews stay productive.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

BudgetIQ\u2122 reviews borrower budgets against 80M+ local cost records from Sitewire\u2019s inspection business and recognized references (e.g., NCE) to produce low\u2013high spend ranges by line item. Builders and Lenders can add confidence with an optional independent GC-verified take-off. The system helps teams avoid maintaining $3k\u2013$5k\/year manual costing catalogs, hours or estimation and takeoffs, and leverages Sitewire\u2019s real-time draw inspections and valuation data from every locality in the country.<\/p>\n

PermitIQ\u2122 analyzes the proposed scope to instantly flag permit triggers across 20,000+ jurisdictions, utilities, and agencies, and provides process maps, fees, and contacts. It also surfaces active permits already filed for the property\u2014helping teams spot conflicts early and mitigate 1\u201330 week delays that can derail schedules and strand crews.<\/p>\n

\u201cPre-construction wins are financial and regulatory<\/em>,\u201d Bryan added. \u201cBudgetIQ\u2122 fixes the first; PermitIQ\u2122 fixes the second. Together, they create a predictable path to day one on site. For construction financiers, idle days translate into profit leakage and potential failure.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Both products are integrated into the Sitewire platform alongside Virtual Inspections (same-day, licensed GC review with GPS\/sensor\/AI fraud detection) and Draw Management. Lenders and other construction financiers can go live in 24 hours, require no internal IT, and scale with white-glove support. BudgetIQ\u2122 and PermitIQ\u2122 are available today for Sitewire customers. To request a demo, visit sitewire.com<\/u><\/a> or book a demo here.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n
