Florida Builders’ Secret Weapon: Private Providers for Inspections & Permits

In Florida’s competitive housing market, time is everything. Whether you’re building a custom single-family home or a large multi-family community, delays at the building department can cost thousands in labor, materials, and missed deadlines. That’s why more builders are turning to private providers like Freedom Code Compliance (FCC) to streamline inspections, plan reviews, and permitting.

Backed by Florida Statute 553.791, FCC offers builders a faster, more reliable path forward with three core services:

• 24-Hour Plan Reviews

• Same-Day Virtual Inspections

• Full-Service Permit Expediting

Why Builders Are Choosing Private Providers

Traditionally, every step — plan reviews, inspections, and permitting — runs through the local building department. Builders know the frustration: weeks-long waits, rescheduled inspections, and inconsistent communication.

Florida law now gives you the right to use a private provider instead. With FCC, you gain speed, predictability, and support from experts who understand both the code and the realities of construction schedules.

24-Hour Plan Reviews

Most building departments face backlogs that stretch weeks, even months. FCC’s licensed plans examiners review your plans within 24 hours, ensuring code compliance without holding up the start of construction.

For builders, that means:

• Faster permits in hand

• Fewer surprises later in the field

• A head start on scheduling crews and trades

Same-Day Virtual Inspections

Inspections are one of the biggest bottlenecks for builders. Missed appointments and limited inspector availability can idle crews and push projects behind schedule. FCC solves this with same-day virtual inspections.

Using photo and video submissions tied to GPS, our licensed inspectors can review framing, MEP, structural, and finish inspections remotely. Results are often delivered within hours, keeping your crews moving without unnecessary downtime.

Full-Service Permit Expediting

Permitting is complex — every jurisdiction has different requirements, and managing paperwork takes builders away from what they do best: building. FCC offers full-service permit expediting, handling everything from submittals to final approvals.

We coordinate directly with municipalities across Florida, ensuring:

• Accurate and complete submissions the first time

• Faster turnaround on approvals

• Digital records of every permit, inspection, and approval for your files

The Bottom Line for Builders

Choosing Freedom Code Compliance isn’t just about compliance — it’s about building faster, reducing delays, and increasing profitability. With 24-hour plan reviews, same-day inspections, and full-service permitting, FCC is the partner that keeps your projects on track.
