Scaffold

Independent service. Not a government website.

Hello, neighbor.

Building permit questions for your city, answered from the city's own pages.

You'll be talking to an AI assistant. You can ask for a person at any time.

Clear answers. Official sources.

Every requirement links to the city page or code section it comes from. If no published source supports an answer, Scaffold says so and points you to city staff.

Your details stay out of the AI.

Names, addresses, phone numbers and emails are removed before your message reaches the AI model. Conversations are deleted after a period of inactivity.

No app to download.

Open it in the browser on your phone, tablet or computer.

A person is always one tap away.

Ask for a person whenever you like, and you'll get the city's published contact for permit questions.

What Scaffold doesn't do yet

It doesn't submit applications, take payment or see your permit's status in the city's system. When your packet is ready, you submit it yourself through the city's online permit portal. Answers aren't official determinations. City staff decide.
