Client portal
The part that stops it being a black box
Outsourcing permitting usually means trading visibility for time back. The portal is how Hargen gives you the time without the trade.
Live status
Where the job actually is
Each project shows its current stage, who it is waiting on, and how long it has been there. When the AHJ has held something for nine days, you can see that without asking.

What is in it
Six surfaces, nothing to configure
Home
What is happening, what needs your input, and what changed since you last looked. No dashboards to configure.
Projects
Every job with its stage, next action, and who is holding it: you, us, the AHJ, or the utility.
Decisions
Quotes and terms presented for acceptance, with the scope and payment schedule stated before you agree.
Files
Plan sets, permits, and PTO letters attached to the job and still there years later.
Conversation
One thread per project. Our internal notes stay internal; everything meant for you is visible.
Team
Add your own staff. Give a homeowner a single-project view without exposing anything else.
Homeowners see status, and nothing else
You can give a homeowner access to their own job so they stop calling you for updates. That view is isolated to the single project and shows milestones and status only, never your wholesale pricing, your margin, other customers, or our internal notes.
