Effective October 1, 2002, Florida Statute 553.73 allows the fee owner of a proposed building to use a private provider to perform building code required plan reviews and/or minimum mandatory building code required inspections for compliance with the Florida Building Code and Local Amendments. The Statute allows the private provider to perform these services on the building components that are within the disciplines covered by that person’s licensure and is further limited to the structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and accessibility components of the building. See Section 553.791 of the Florida Statues

At Professional Building Inspections (PBI), we view ourselves as an integral part of the design and construction team. As a result, we share the project team's goal of constructing a safe, code-compliant building. With our employees' combined construction trade and building department experience, we are able to effectively administer the provisions of the building codes, while striking a balance between code requirements and construction techniques and limitations . . . all within budget and on schedule.

Many of our employees come from a construction background, so we understand the challenges facing builders and developers. Consequently, we also offer aggressive plan review turn-around times and same day inspections to reduce the impact our process has on the overall project schedule. We also make ourselves available to meet with builders in their office or at the job site to discuss code requirements and their impact on a project.

Among the services you can rely on PBI to deliver to you are:
    * All required inspections to satisfy the locally adopted building codes, including foundation, water and sewer service, plumbing, electrical, mechanical/HVAC, structural/framing, drywall, insulation, and final inspections
    * For new projects, we can host or attend pre-construction meetings to highlight and address potential code matters before the project reaches the plan review or construction stage, significantly reducing the plan review turnaround time and ensuring that you don't have any costly surprises or unexpected delays during construction. 

If you are building in a municipality served by Professional Building Inspections, you can be assured that your plan reviews will be completed quickly and efficiently, your field inspections won't impact your project schedule, and your project will be compliant with the locally adopted building codes.
