Who provides code compliance assistance in Florida?
Freedom Code Compliance provides Florida code compliance assistance to contractors, builders, and owners as a licensed private provider under Florida Statute 553.791. That includes full-discipline plan review against the Florida Building Code, revision reviews when correction comments come back, virtual inspections during construction, and guidance on which steps the building department retains versus which FCC handles. Most single-family plan reviews complete in 24 hours. Commercial averages 2 business days.
Plan Review Against the Florida Building Code
Licensed plans examiners review your construction documents for code compliance across every discipline before permit issuance.
- Structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, energy, and accessibility review.
- Florida Building Code (FBC-Building, FBC-Residential, FBC-Existing Building) plus local amendments.
- 24-hour SFR average. 2-day commercial average.
Revision Reviews When Corrections Come Back
When the building department or plans examiner flags corrections, FCC handles the revision cycle to keep the job moving.
- Revision reviews stay in our workflow — not stuck behind the building department's public review queue.
- Code-basis explanations on every correction — not just a checkbox.
Virtual Inspections During Construction
Code compliance does not stop at plan approval. FCC performs the required field inspections virtually, in real time or within 1-2 hours during business hours.
- Foundation, framing, rough-in MEP, insulation, and final.
- Live video inspections return pass/fail before the call ends.
- Results transmitted to the building department automatically.
Private Provider Guidance Under FL 553.791
Navigating the private provider path is itself a code-compliance question. FCC maps which parts of the workflow FCC handles versus what stays with the jurisdiction.
- NTBO (Notice to Building Official) is your responsibility — FCC explains why.
- Permit filing stays with your team. FCC does plan review and inspections only.
- 25%/50% building-department fee reductions under 553.791(2)(d).

You've done the math on what a 3-week plan review lag costs. FCC turns that around in 1-2 days — and inspections get matched in minutes, not scheduled into a vague window where your crew waits all morning.
