“Permit-ready in a week instead of a month. David caught two tabulation errors before submission that would have bounced us. Worth every dollar.”— Custom Home Builder, Anna Maria Island
A private provider performs two separately priced services: plans review (checking stamped plans for code compliance) and inspections (field or virtual checks at each construction phase). By law these must be two different engineers — the engineer of record can't also be the PP.
Our advantage is a relationship with an inspection engineer who prices at $1 per square foot, flat — $3,000 for a 3,000 sq ft home, $5,000 for a large custom build. No other PP in the market uses a simple per-sq-ft model. Inspections are done virtually over video: the contractor walks the site live, the inspector checks the boxes, and the inspection passes in real time.
Florida statute requires the government to reduce your permit fee when a private provider handles inspections — the county no longer provides them. Most permit holders don't know to invoke it; we do, on every applicable service area.
The state is moving toward mandatory private-provider inspections statewide, so this is the model that's becoming the only option. We've already built our process around it. Learn more about what a private provider inspection is.
Unpredictable PP pricing — quotes that change 'based on which way the wind is blowing' — wrecks a build budget. A flat per-sq-ft model doesn't.

Frequently asked questions
- Why does the permit fee go down with a private provider?
- Florida statute requires the city or county to reduce the fee because they no longer perform the inspections. We make sure that reduction is applied.
