Your PM shouldn't be chasing bylaw clauses.
Now they don't have to.
70% of your PM's permit coordination work is tracking, chasing, and checking. FlowStation's AI agent handles that — so your PM focuses on decisions, relationships, and approvals.
The coordination tax your PM absorbs
Your PM can read drawings. What they can't do — and shouldn't have to — is cross-reference every detail against the current bylaw and then chase your architect to fix it.
Every revision cycle: 2–6 weeks lost
Each round-trip to the city adds weeks. Your carrying costs — property tax, insurance, loan interest, lost revenue — don't pause while you wait.
PMs become compliance routers
Monday: email the architect about a setback. Wednesday: follow up. Thursday: chase the engineer for calcs. Friday: check if the city even opened the last submission. Same week, every project, on repeat.
Bylaws changed. Nobody caught it.
Your architect did nothing wrong — the zoning amendment happened last quarter. FlowStation checks against the current bylaw, not the one your team memorized.
Pre-check to get started. Agent to stay with you.
FlowStation catches compliance issues before submission — and then stays with your PM through every revision cycle until the permit is in hand.

AI Permit Coordination Agent
After the pre-check, the agent stays with your PM. It generates revision tasks, assigns them to your architect and engineer, tracks completion, and tells you when you're ready to resubmit.

- Assigns each issue to the responsible party (architect vs. engineer)
- Tracks completion — your PM sees what's outstanding at a glance
- Categorizes and triages city planner comments by discipline and severity
- Flags when the package is clean and ready to resubmit
- Monitors the municipal process and prompts your PM on status
- Learns from each cycle — fewer issues on the next project

Revision Tasks Generated

Agent Tracks Completion
Your PM sees what's done, what's outstanding, and who's holding things up — without chasing anyone.
Resubmit Clean
Agent confirms the package addresses every flagged issue. Submit with confidence.
Track City Comments
When the city responds, the agent categorizes planner comments by discipline, triages by severity, and assigns each back to your architect or engineer — so nothing gets missed or repeated.
Resolve & Resubmit
The cycle repeats — tasks generated, tracked, resolved — until every comment is closed. No revision falls through the cracks.
Permit Issued
Agent monitors status until the permit is in hand. Full cycle, closed.
From compliance finding to tracked resolution
The pre-check catches the issue. The agent makes sure it gets fixed.
The math on what delays actually cost you
Two kinds of savings. One from avoiding revision cycles. One from freeing your PM's time.
$Cost of Delay
Based on carrying cost analysis for a Coquitlam 4-plex at $2.75M (2026 market). Includes property tax, insurance, consultant retainers, opportunity cost, loan interest, and lost rental revenue.
