"So much time saved. What used to take a full week now takes an hour."— Permitting Lead
Make every city predictable.
Don't let a buried city requirement cost you weeks
A single missed rule can mean failed inspections, rejected permits, and redesigns that blow your timeline. Instantly access up-to-date city and utility requirements so every project starts with a complete picture.
Know when requirements change before you submit
Codes update constantly. Get alerts when codes update — whether you're pre-design or mid-project — so you can adapt before a submission stalls.
New cities don't have to mean new risks
Unfamiliar jurisdictions are where the most expensive mistakes happen. Know what's required before you commit resources.
Get hours back from code research
Stop chasing PDFs and digging through government websites. Get planning, code, zoning, and utility requirements in minutes from a searchable platform covering 28,000+ jurisdictions.
One source of truth so projects move forward
When teams work from different information, projects go backward. Share verified, up-to-date requirements across design, development, and field teams so everyone moves together.
How Fordje fits into the way you already work
See every requirement before the first drawing
Build out complete project requirements — purchasing, planning, engineering, permitting — with references to the specific codes behind each one. Downstream teams don't scramble. Upstream teams don't rework.
Compare cities before you commit
Generate side-by-side requirement comparisons across jurisdictions to see where your standard designs work — and where red flags are buried.
Answers on the jobsite, not next Monday
Field teams get instant code answers without calling the office or waiting on the city. The build keeps moving.
Fits your stack, not the other way around
Integrates with your prospecting, design, permitting, and ops tools so your workflow stays the same — just with up-to-date requirements built in.
National coverage. Always up to date.
