Permit rules
For contractors & handymen

Bid the job tonight. Not next weekend.

Takeoffs, cut lists, regional material pricing, permit checklists, and branded client proposals — one workflow instead of a spreadsheet, a notepad, and three trips to the supply house.

How a job moves through it

1. Take off the job

Enter dimensions once. Get material lists, optimized cut lists, and regional pricing for the ZIP the job is in.

2. Send a branded proposal

Turn the takeoff into a client-ready PDF with your logo and your margin — labeled as an estimate, not a quote.

3. Clear the permit

Project-specific permit checklists with city and county overrides, plus an inspection packet to hand over.

4. Run the board

Track every active client on one project board, share read-only previews, and keep a reusable price book.

Contractor questions

Is this a bid or an estimate?
Every number the app produces is a planning estimate, never a quote. You review and set your own final pricing before anything goes to a client.
Can my crew use it too?
Yes — 2 team seats are included in the base price, and extra seats are $29/month each.
What if I only bid a few jobs a month?
Use the calculator above. The plan pays for itself once recovered bid-prep time exceeds the monthly cost, which for most trades is one or two jobs.
Can I cancel?
Yes, any time. Annual billing saves you money up front but monthly is month-to-month.
Does DIYBlueprintPro employ the contractors on the platform?
No. DIYBlueprintPro is a software and lead-matching platform. Every contractor who uses the platform or receives leads through it is an independent business, not an employee or agent of Aperture Forge LLC. You set your own prices, contracts, and terms with homeowners.
