South Jordan, UT – October 4, 2025 — ReadyPermit.AI officially launched today as the nation's first end-to-end API-driven permitting infrastructure platform for residential construction. The company aims to solve what industry experts estimate is a $31 billion annual productivity loss caused by permitting delays, inconsistent requirements, and bureaucratic friction in the U.S. housing market.
Built by former real estate operators and software engineers who experienced permitting delays firsthand, ReadyPermit.AI transforms the traditionally manual, jurisdiction-specific permit process into a fast, digital-first workflow accessible to developers, manufacturers, builders, and individual homebuyers.
"Permitting is the invisible crisis killing American housing," said Landon Reid, Founder and CEO of ReadyPermit.AI. "We've created the infrastructure layer that should have existed 20 years ago — a system that understands zoning codes, speaks the language of every jurisdiction, and turns weeks of paperwork into minutes of automation."
🏛️ The Permitting Crisis by the Numbers
The U.S. residential construction industry processes over 1.4 million building permits annually, with average approval timelines ranging from 45 days to 18 months depending on jurisdiction complexity. These delays ripple through the entire housing supply chain:
• Average permit timeline: 4-6 months for single-family residential
• Cost of delays: $31B annually in lost productivity and holding costs
• Jurisdictional fragmentation: 40,000+ municipal and county authorities
• Compliance failure rate: 22% of first-time permit applications rejected
• Builder overhead: 8-12% of project budgets spent on permitting alone
For modular and manufactured housing — where construction can be completed in weeks — permitting often becomes the longest phase of the entire project timeline.

• Recommended modifications to improve approval odds
• Timeline estimation based on jurisdiction and project type
3. Auto-Generated Permit Packages

🌎 Launch Coverage: 500+ Jurisdictions and Growing

The platform's AI models are trained on over 250,000 historical permit applications, enabling jurisdiction-specific formatting, timeline predictions, and approval optimization.
🏭 Modular Housing: The Ideal First Vertical
ReadyPermit.AI is launching with a strategic focus on modular, manufactured, and prefab residential projects — segments where permitting friction has historically been the primary barrier to scale.
"Factory-built housing can be completed in 8-12 weeks, but permitting adds 4-6 months on average," said Reid. "We're eliminating that bottleneck so modular homes can fulfill their promise of speed and affordability."
Early pilot customers include modular manufacturers, ADU developers, and multi-family projects using factory-built modules. The company reports:
• 68% reduction in average permit approval timelines
• 41% decrease in first-submission rejection rates
• 89% cost savings versus traditional permit expediting services
• 4.8x faster document preparation compared to manual processes
🔮 Vision for the Future
While launching with residential focus, ReadyPermit.AI's infrastructure is designed to expand across:
• Traditional stick-built single-family construction
• Commercial and mixed-use developments
• Renovations and substantial improvement permits
• Utility connection and infrastructure permitting
• International markets with similar regulatory frameworks
The company is also developing:
• Municipal intake portals for digital-first permitting
• Lender integrations for permit-contingent financing
• GIS platform partnerships for parcel intelligence
• AI-powered code compliance checking for plan sets
💰 Business Model and Pricing
ReadyPermit.AI operates on a per-permit transaction model:
• Basic zoning checks: $25-$75 per property
• Full permit application packages: $300-$750 depending on complexity
• Bulk/developer pricing: Volume discounts starting at 20 units
• API access: Monthly subscription starting at $2,500/month
