How it works

Permitting and design, made legible.

CorvusDP mirrors how experienced developers, designers, and expeditors actually run a project — it just does the research, sequencing, and tracking for you. Start with either track.

Permitting

From an address to every permit you need, in order, with fees and a timeline.

  1. 1
    Enter the property & project

    An address (or manual site details) plus what you're planning — new construction, addition, remodel, or site development.

  2. 2
    Zoning, jurisdiction & feasibility

    CorvusDP classifies the zoning, identifies the governing authority and reviewing departments, and flags feasibility risks in plain language.

  3. 3
    Permits, agencies & checklists

    Every required permit grouped by category, mapped to its reviewing agency, each with a jurisdiction-specific submission checklist.

  4. 4
    Roadmap, fees & timeline

    A dependency-ordered roadmap (what must clear before what, what can run in parallel), a fee estimate, and a multi-cycle review timeline.

  5. 5
    Track to approval

    Once you're engaged, the dashboard tracks submissions, review comments (translated + assigned), approvals, pre-construction clearance, and permit expiry.

Design

From your program to a scoped, phased, and priced design brief — before you sign a design contract.

  1. 1
    Enter the property

    An address — or just the city or region when there isn't one yet.

  2. 2
    Choose the type of project

    New construction, addition, remodeling, or interior fit-out.

  3. 3
    Describe your requirements

    Site and building area, floors, rooms, and the functional and special requirements the design has to meet.

  4. 4
    Get your design brief

    What the design covers across survey, site, civil, architectural, structural, and MEP; a room-level space plan; a phased timeline from concept to permit set; and a budget estimate with the cost drivers explained.

  5. 5
    Track the design

    Save the brief to your dashboard for the cost breakdown by discipline, a suggested delivery approach, phase-by-phase progress as your design team works, and recommended next steps.
