FAQ

Services Questions

What is a private-provider building inspection?
A private-provider inspection is conducted by a licensed third-party inspector registered with your municipality, rather than a municipal building inspector. Results are submitted directly to the building department under Florida Statute 553.791.
How quickly can I schedule an inspection?
We schedule inspections around your construction timeline, not a municipal backlog. Contact us 24 hours prior to your required inspection time and we'll coordinate a time that works for your project.
Can inspections be done virtually?
All private-provider inspections can be done virtually at the discretion of the inspector, which will be coordinated and discussed with the client upon receiving the request to schedule the inspection.
Do building departments discount permit fees when I use a private provider?
Yes. Florida Statute 553.791 requires building departments statewide to give a fair and reasonable discount on project permit fees when a private provider performs a service in place of the department. In our experience, permit fees are typically discounted about 25% when a private provider handles both plan review and inspections, and about 15% when the private provider handles inspections only.
