Our mission
Construction permitting connects public safety, building quality and economic activity. Yet the process can be slowed by incomplete applications, inconsistent formats, manual drawing review, and disconnected teams. PermitAssure was created to bring structure, evidence and transparency to that process — while keeping qualified professionals and regulatory authorities firmly in control of every decision.
GlobalDWS background
GlobalDWS is a Canadian technology and innovation company specializing in artificial intelligence, robotics, autonomous systems, digital twins, smart buildings, IoT, data analytics, cloud technologies, agentic AI, workflow automation and building intelligence. GlobalDWS develops technology that improves how buildings, infrastructure, workplaces, healthcare environments and construction projects are designed, reviewed, built, operated and maintained.
PermitAssure has its own product identity while benefiting from GlobalDWS's broader expertise, and may connect with VirBrix for future field verification, robotic inspection, reality capture and digital-twin use cases.
Canadian construction-productivity context
Canada's building sector faces ongoing pressure to deliver housing and infrastructure while maintaining rigorous safety and code standards. PermitAssure is built for this context — designed to work across jurisdictions, accommodate bilingual requirements, and support both large authorities and smaller organizations with fewer resources.
Responsible innovation
We are explicit about what PermitAssure does and does not do. It does not approve permits autonomously, guarantee compliance, or replace building officials and qualified professionals. Every capability is labelled honestly — Available, Configurable, Pilot Capability, Planned, Future Roadmap, Integration Dependent or Jurisdiction Dependent — so stakeholders know exactly what they are adopting.
Our collaboration approach
We work directly with authorities, firms and organizations to configure PermitAssure around real jurisdictional requirements, workflows and governance structures — through discovery, pilot and scale-up, rather than a one-size-fits-all rollout.
