Question 1

How fast after filing does Plattwise actually see a permit?

Accepted Answer

Same business day, typically before noon. We sweep Open Data KC and the MARC planning portal each morning with a 7:30 a.m. Central cutoff, then rewrite and route the briefs before lunch. A Brookside kitchen remodel filed Monday morning will be in your CRM before you finish your first site visit — well ahead of any remodeler reading the raw permit list.

Question 2

What trades are covered on day one?

Accepted Answer

Remodelers, roofers, and deck builders ship day one across the KC metro — Jackson, Johnson, and Clay counties. New trades (HVAC swap-outs, electrical service upgrades, garage builds) come online as the feed expands, and the waitlist picks the order they ship in.

Question 3

Can I cancel anytime with no contract?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There is no annual contract, no per-permit fee, and no setup cost — just the flat $97 per seat per month you see on the card. The 30-day trial converts to paid on a single one-click confirmation in your dashboard; cancel from the same place at any time and your access ends that day.

Question 4

Do I get SMS, email, or both?

Accepted Answer

Both, plus the CRM and calendar routes already listed on the price card. Each brief lands as a one-page email, pushes into your Jobber (or ServiceTitan, Google Calendar, raw SMS) in the order your shop already runs — no new dashboard, no double entry.

Question 5

What does a daily brief look like in my inbox?

Accepted Answer

A single one-page card. Front-matter reads [KC/REMODEL] so you spot it among the other email before you open it. Inside: the address, a one-line scope summary, the valuation, the owner on the filing, and the adjacency or HOA cue when one is on the permit. One screen, one minute, before you walk the job.

One flat per-seat price.
