The Problem

Canadian developers are flying blind into a $300B market.

A developer acquires a site in Toronto. Spends 3 weeks on pre-consultation and manual research across 6 approval agencies. Pays $25K to a planning consultant. 1st submission rejected. Missing a required Noise and Vibration Assessment. The commenting package arrives 8 weeks later. Resubmission: 4 months. Carrying cost: $43K/month. Total delay cost: $197K+ before a single shovel hits dirt.

How it works

Three steps. From land to permit.

Built around how developers actually work.

PHASE / 01
Know the site
Before you commit.

Enter an address. Get your zoning verdict, every approval agency, every required study, and every submission trigger. In 60 seconds.

  • Zoning verdict: as-of-right, ZBA, or minor variance
  • Full agency circulation list
  • Required studies and ToRs surfaced
  • Timeline and carrying cost forecast
PHASE / 02
Check the drawings
Before you file.

Upload drawings. Catch OBC violations and zoning conflicts before the reviewing agency does. One clean 1st submission saves months.

  • OBC Part 3 compliance review
  • Zoning by-law and setback checks
  • Drawing conflict detection
  • Section-cited comment responses
PHASE / 03  ROADMAP
File and track
Ship it.

File directly. Track every submission across every agency in one view. Get alerts the moment a review stalls.

  • Direct portal submission
  • Live agency review dashboard
  • Stall detection alerts
  • Commenting package response tracking
Who it's for

Built for the people on the ground.

Canadian developers, GCs, and architects spending weeks on research that should take minutes.

Developers

5–20 projects per year with no in-house planning team. Know your zoning verdict, your ZBA exposure, and your full agency circulation list before you commit capital. Not after.

Architects and GCs

You prepare the drawings. You face the reviewing agencies. PreBuildIQ catches OBC and zoning by-law violations before the 1st submission so your commenting package comes back clean.

Permit expeditors

Deliver same-day pre-consultation packages instead of two months of manual research. Handle more clients across more jurisdictions, without adding headcount.

Why PreBuildIQ

A Canadian dataset nobody else has.

US platforms don't have Canadian municipal data. Generic AI tools don't have it. We're building it, municipality by municipality, from the portal up.

Pricing

One platform. Every project.

Transparent pricing built around how teams actually work. Annual quotas, predictable overage rates, no surprise fees.
