Follow-up Expertise FAQs

Can the VA navigate complex municipal portals (Accela, OpenGov)?
Yes. Our VAs are trained to navigate the most common municipal software platforms used for submittals, fee payments, and status tracking. We handle the technical friction of these portals for you.
Will the VA actually call city officials?
Absolutely. Persistence is key in permitting. Our VAs are equipped with VoIP systems and professional communication skills to call plan checkers and inspectors for status updates and clarification.
How does the "Free Project Manager" model work?
You are assigned a dedicated PM as your single point of contact. You provide your project goals to the PM, and they manage the VA's workflow, QA the submittals, and ensure deadlines are met. You pay nothing for the PM's time.
Are there any hidden platform or setup fees?
Zero. Unlike freelancer bidding platforms that charge up to 40% in markups, SageDoer charges a flat hourly rate ($6 or $7/hr). No onboarding fees, no recruitment fees, and no membership charges.
Can the VA handle zoning research and preliminary audits?
Yes. Our VAs are proficient in accessing public records, zoning maps, and city ordinances. They can compile background briefs to assist your designers or developers during the feasibility phase.
How is my project data and confidentiality protected?
All VAs and PMs operate under strict NDAs. We work within your secure environments (Dropbox, Procore, Bluebeam) and do not store sensitive blueprints or property data on local hardware.
What happens if a VA is sick or takes a vacation?
This is the benefit of a managed service. If your primary VA is unavailable, your PM will instantly swap in a trained backup expert who has already been briefed on your project status. Zero momentum is lost.
How is time tracked and billed?
We use centralized time-tracking software. You receive a simple, unified USD invoice every 4 weeks that details the pure working hours logged by the VA. No complex freelancer payroll to manage.
