The building department, outsourced.
When permit volume outpaces your staff, CleardGov by Cleard provides licensed professionals to perform plan reviews and inspections under your oversight — on your timeline, at your standard.
What CleardGov does
Contract Plan Review
Licensed reviewers across all disciplines. Results submitted under your department's oversight, with organized comments and direct communication.
Contract Inspections
Same-day and next-day licensed inspections across all trades. Your department retains final authority on every result.

Surge capacity when volume spikes. We scale up with your demand without adding permanent headcount to your budget.
Staff Augmentation
Embed licensed professionals into your department's workflow during vacancies, leave, or high-volume periods. No recruiting, no benefits overhead.
Three steps, under your authority.
Department contracts with Cleard
We agree on scope, disciplines, turnaround standards, and oversight protocols before any work begins.
Licensed professionals integrate with your workflow
Reviews and inspections are performed under your department's process and authority, not around it.
Results submitted, department issues
Your building official retains final review authority. We deliver the work, you make the call.
Capacity and visibility. Not just bodies.
Unlike staffing agencies, we bring a platform. Every review and inspection is tracked, logged, and accessible — assignment, timestamps, comments, and outcome. Your department gets capacity and a complete record of the work performed on its behalf.
The people and the platform. Funded by fees.
Platform-backed, not just staffing
Staffing agencies send people. CleardGov delivers licensed professionals plus the software that tracks every review, inspection, comment, and outcome in one auditable record.
National scale
A licensed bench across jurisdictions means surge capacity when your volume spikes, and continuity when it does not.
Victoria, the intelligence layer
Victoria reads plans, flags likely code issues before a reviewer opens the file, and drafts organized comments — so your reviewers spend time on judgment, not sorting.
Zero overhead to the city
No recruiting, no benefits, no software procurement, no permanent headcount added to your budget. Capacity turns on and off with your volume.
Fee-share model
CleardGov is funded by permit fees, not the general fund. The city retains 15% of collected fees; Cleard retains 85% and carries the people, the platform, and the liability.
