After more than 25 years running one of Florida's fastest-growing remodeling companies, Fabian Videla found himself facing the same nightmare every contractor knows too well: permitting delays, inconsistent city processes, and mountains of paperwork that slowed projects, and profits, to a crawl. Instead of accepting that bottleneck as "just how it is," Fabian decided to rebuild the system from the ground up using AI.

Today, Permit Rockstar is redefining the way construction and remodeling companies move work through cities and counties.

Highlights:

• His journey from growing up in Mendoza, Argentina to launching a multimillion-dollar remodeling company in the U.S.
• The permitting pain points that pushed him to create a tech solution contractors desperately needed
• How he strategically integrates AI—without relying on generic "chatbot" tools—to automate real, regulation-bound workflows
• What the future of construction tech looks like, from AI-generated blueprints to instant zoning checks
• Why accessibility, training, and understanding the right AI models will separate winners from laggards in the next 3–5 years
• His vision to make permitting in Florida fully digital—and eventually transform the industry nationwide
