A drafter wanted a few thousand dollars and five weeks for a permit set. Ian McCormick did it in an hour with Claude. The permit was issued the next day. That is one piece of a much bigger overhaul. Ian and Sarah McCormick run McDevCo, a two-person custom home company building $5 million homes in Telluride. Ian put $600MM of commercial work in place before this. In this episode they walk through ripping out their entire tech stack and rebuilding it around AI: BuilderTrend to Resio, Proton Mail to Google Workspace, Zoom gone, Claude running everything from IT migrations to permit drawings to coordinating five trades on a modular build.
