Building Inspections

Keeping Your Project on Track

Overview

We know that timely inspections are crucial for keeping your project moving forward. Our licensed inspectors conduct detailed inspections to ensure your project complies with the Florida Building Code. If any deficiencies are found, we don't just give you a fail notice—we offer solutions and alternatives to keep your project on track.

As your inspection partner, we communicate directly with your local building department, keeping them informed of your project's progress. Under Florida Statute 553.791, municipalities are required to discount permit fees for projects with third-party inspections, helping reduce costs and minimize delays. With Keys Inspection Services, you get the benefit of less red tape and on-time project delivery.

Our inspectors are licensed, insured, and registered in Monroe County and across the state of Florida, providing in-person or virtual inspections depending on the project's logistics and requirements.

FAQ

Frequently Asked 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.
What does 'solutions, not just fail notices' mean?
When our inspectors find a deficiency, we explain what's needed for compliance and suggest practical alternatives to keep your project moving. We focus on helping you pass the next inspection, not just documenting failures.
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.
Do private-provider inspections reduce permit costs?
Yes. Municipalities must discount permit fees under Statute 553.791 when a qualified private provider handles inspections, because the building department performs fewer inspections on 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.
