Engineering Desk
Stamped plans for a solar job usually mean an outside engineering firm, a shared inbox, and a spreadsheet nobody fully trusts. Engineering Desk gives each firm its own portal, auto-fills what SolarProjeX already knows, and tells you the real date you need plans back by.
Most solar companies hand engineering off the same way: email the package, wait, follow up, email again. The firm has its own process and its own board — you just don't get to see it, so "where are our plans" becomes a phone call instead of a glance at a screen.
Engineering Desk gives every job you send out a real stage — received, drafting, Q/C, your review, changes, stamping, completed — and each firm gets its own portal to work from, with no login to set up: the link itself is the access. They see only their own jobs, never anyone else's.
Sending a job doesn't mean retyping what you already have. Address, AHJ, permit number, and system details pull from the job and its permit record automatically, and intake questions auto-fill from the customer's presite and inspection forms wherever a form answer already covers them — your office fills in the rest and picks the firm.
Every job gets a real needed-by date, not a guess: it's computed from the roof's finish date minus the jurisdiction's typical permit review time, so you know whether you're on schedule or already behind before the county tells you.
How it works
Received through completed — see exactly where every job sits with the firm, without asking them.
Each firm gets a link scoped to only their jobs — upload, comment, ask a question, assign a drafter.
Address, AHJ, permit number, and presite answers fill in on their own — your office confirms and sends.
Computed from the roof finish date and the jurisdiction's typical review time, not a round number everyone ignores.
No. Each firm gets its own portal link — the link itself is the access, scoped to only their own jobs. There's nothing for them to set up.
Address, AHJ, and permit number pull from the job automatically, and engineering questions auto-fill wherever the customer's presite or inspection form already answered them. Your office still picks the firm, confirms what's missing, and attaches the package before sending.
From the roof's finish date, minus the jurisdiction's typical permit review time (plus a day to file). If the roof is already done, it tells you the permit is already late instead of showing a date in the past.
It checks the file name for a mismatch — if a file uploaded as 'unstamped' has a name suggesting it's the sealed set, it flags that for a second look. It doesn't read the PDF itself, so it's a safety net, not a guarantee.
No. When stamped plans come back, your office is notified and the reroof timeline records the step — but no permit card moves and no permit gets filed on its own. A person runs your permit board, always.
