For engineers who sign
Every hour drafting is an hour not reviewing.
Fermito is the drafting tool for engineers who sign. It turns field notes into firm-specific drafts of the sealed work engineers deliver — field reviews today, reserve fund studies and condition assessments next — so licensed professionals spend their hours on review and judgment, the part of the work only they can do. Built for Ontario practice.
The drafting layer between the site visit and the sealed document.
The problem
The drafting tax compounds where partners can least afford it.
The work that gets done is the work that gets billed. Sealed reports are the work that gets done late, after hours, by the person whose hours are worth the most. Field reviews, condition assessments, reserve fund studies — the document type changes; the late night doesn't.
The transcription tax
After every site visit, the same ninety minutes of typing. Different visit, different observations, same transcription — the part of the job no one billed for and everyone absorbed.
Review hours paid for typing
Licensed engineers bill review hours and spend them retyping their own field notes. The seal is the work only a PE can do. Transcription isn't.
Reviews queue up behind the draft
When the partner is drafting, they aren't reviewing the juniors' reports. The queue lengthens, and the practice risk lives in the queue — not in the draft.
The product
A drafting workflow built for sealed work.
Four surfaces, one loop: capture in the field, generate the draft, revise with your voice, export in your house format.
Capture
Walk the site and talk. Voice, photos, and extracted documents collect as you work — dated, timestamped, and attributed to the engineer on the visit.
Learn moreGenerate
Fermito turns the capture into a firm-specific draft — templates, callouts, and standard phrasing pulled from the firm's own library, not a generic report schema.
Learn moreRevise
Voice-edit in plain language or correct inline. Every change is highlighted in diff. Nothing auto-submits. Nothing auto-seals.
Learn moreExport
DOCX in the firm's house format — header, footer, signature block, distribution list. Ready for a PE to review and seal.

90 seconds
Watch Fermito draft a report from a voice walkthrough.
One site visit, captured by voice. One draft, generated in the firm's template. One revision pass, sealed by an engineer who signed it.

Structek
Structural engineering practice in the Greater Toronto Area. 35 sealed site review reports across two active garage repair projects.
Fermito is tuned against Structek’s actual template and report categories — concrete slab repair, waterproofing, and ramp work across two GTA parking garage projects.
Firm profile, template structure, and rollout shape — grounded in the project files. Measured outcomes land when the cycle completes.
See the workHow it works
Four steps from site visit to sealed draft.
The loop is short on purpose. Fermito shortens the drafting step — it doesn't touch the review, and it doesn't touch the seal.
Step 01
Capture
Walk the site and talk. Voice, photos, and extracted documents land in one record — dated, timestamped, and attributed to the engineer on the visit.
Step 02
Generate
Fermito assembles a firm-specific draft from the capture. Templates, callouts, and standard observations are pulled from the firm's own library, not a generic report schema.
Step 03
Review
A licensed engineer reads the draft the way they'd read a junior's. Voice-edit or correct inline. Every change is highlighted in diff and kept in the revision history.
Step 04
Export
DOCX in the firm's house format — headers, signature block, distribution list. The engineer seals the document and closes the visit.
Responsibility
You sign every report. Fermito drafts the words.
Sealed engineering work is practice of engineering. Field review under OBC 1.2.2.2, condition assessments, reserve fund studies — practice of engineering stays with the practitioner, every time. Every design decision in Fermito enforces that line.
Assistant, not author
Fermito drafts. It does not submit, seal, distribute, or sign anything. The engineer is the author of the report in every sense the profession cares about.
Every change in diff
Edits — voice, keyboard, revision pass — are highlighted and captured in the revision history. The reviewer sees what moved, and so does the practitioner holding the license.
Your client data stays yours
Customer content is never used as training data. Not opt-in, not opt-out — never. Confidential work under PEO practice rules stays confidential.
Pricing
Firms start at $499 / month
One firm, unlimited engineers, unlimited reports. Templates encoded to the firm’s structure at onboarding. No per-seat arithmetic, no usage meters, no surprise invoices.
