Choose the automated $19 Permit Decision Brief when a permit question is blocking the next step and you do not need a contractor proposal reviewed. Choose the $49 Full Quote Review directly when you already have a written proposal and want Bryan Shubert to manually review the final homeowner report before deposit. A completed $19 purchase can still be applied once toward the $49 review later.
Recommended first step

$19
City, ZIP, and project type drive an automated permit decision brief: route level, public-source links, items to confirm, and ready-to-send authority / contractor questions. It does not review a contractor proposal.
Automatic decision brief generated from your intake and curated public-source routing notes
Best when permit questions are blocking your next step and you need a dated, project-specific route before contacting the AHJ or contractor.
What you get
City/ZIP and project-type route to available public authority sources
Decision status plus permit-path items, documents, and inspection points to confirm
Building department call script and contractor clarification email
Public-source notes with the report source-routing date
