PermitLogic AI Join the waitlist

About Sully Studios.

We make PermitLogic AI because we've seen what permit surprises and missing materials do to a good project.

A small studio with a contractor's habits.

Sully Studios is a small independent app studio in northeastern Pennsylvania. We build practical tools for people who work with their hands, or are about to.

Our founder spent years in home-repair contracting. Again and again, he watched good projects stall for avoidable reasons: a permit nobody knew was needed, a setback discovered after the posts were set, a second and third trip to the store because the materials list was a guess. PermitLogic AI is the tool he wanted in the truck.

Meet Sully, the app's AI guide.

Sully is an AI character: a plain-spoken, patient veteran contractor who walks you through your project one question at a time. Sully is not a real person.

  • What Sully doesReads your town's published rules first, explains them in plain words, sizes your materials and assembles your packet.
  • What Sully never claimsTo have built, inspected or approved anything. Your permit office decides.
  • How Sully talksShort sentences, specifics, jargon explained. Encouraging, never scary.

What we believe.

  • Your town's rules firstThe closest rule usually wins, so that's where we look first, and we label every rule with its source.
  • Honest gaps beat confident guessesWhen a rule isn't published, we say so and tell you who to call.
  • The office decidesWe help you prepare. We never pretend to replace the permit office, an engineer or an attorney.
  • No inflated claimsWe're pre-launch. We don't publish user counts, reviews or endorsements we don't have.
  • Respect for creatorsModel building code text is copyrighted. We link to it or paraphrase it, never paste it.

How we test.

We've tested hardest on towns close to home in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, hand-reviewing reports against each town's own pages.

  • Designed for any U.S. townThe same town, county, state, model code ladder works everywhere.
  • Results depend on the townSome towns publish a great deal online, some very little. Reports show which is which.
  • Where we areThe iPhone app is in final pre-launch testing. Join the waitlist
