Florida is in the middle of a construction renaissance—a true golden age of growth. Cranes line skylines, master-planned communities are being stamped across the state, and infrastructure projects are reaching historic highs. But there’s a problem simmering beneath the surface:


Permits, inspections, and plan reviews are slowing everything down.


🏛️ 400+ Municipalities. 400+ Different Rules.


Florida isn’t like most states. Each municipality has its own way of handling code compliance, from timelines and workflows to documentation and technology use. This creates a maze of inefficiency, missed timelines, and frustrated builders trying to navigate an outdated system.


In many cities, building departments are understaffed and overwhelmed, and the backlog is growing. What used to take days now takes weeks—or longer. Delays cost money. In some cases, millions.



🔑 The New Era of Code Compliance


What most people don’t realize is that in 2020, Florida passed legislation that finally opened the door to private providers. These state-authorized firms can perform plan reviews and conduct inspections, giving builders a faster, more predictable alternative to city bureaucracy.


But here’s the truth: very few builders are taking advantage.


Why? Because private providers haven’t modernized. Most still operate like consultants—slow, manual, and paper-based.


That’s where we come in.
