Most commonly asked questions about private provider plan reviews
A plan review is a detailed review of construction plans or blueprints by a qualified professional, often an engineer or architect. The plan review process ensures the proposed project is in compliance with all applicable building codes, regulations, and standards. This is crucial to ensure the safety and reliability of the project. Services may include review of architectural plans, structural plans, mechanical systems, electrical systems, plumbing systems, fire protection systems, and more. Any deficiencies or non-compliance issues would be identified during the review so that they can be addressed before construction begins.
A plan review typically covers:
Architectural Plans: Layout, design, and structural features of the building.
Structural Plans: Analysis of the building’s structural framework to ensure stability.
Mechanical Systems: Review of HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems.
Electrical Systems: Examination of electrical wiring, circuits, and power distribution.
Plumbing Systems: Verification of water supply, drainage, and sewage systems.
Fire Protection Systems: Ensuring compliance with fire safety standards, including alarms and sprinkler systems.
Yes, private providers, like Freedom Code Compliance, are authorized under Florida Statute 553.791 to conduct plan reviews. Local building departments are required to accept plan reviews completed by private providers, provided all necessary documentation is submitted and compliant with local regulations.
A private provider like Freedom Code Compliance offers plan review services conducted by licensed professionals who specialize in expediting the process while ensuring code compliance. Unlike local building departments, private providers are not constrained by government staffing limitations, allowing for faster turnaround times and more personalized service.
Local building departments also conduct plan reviews but may have longer wait times due to higher workloads or limited resources.
