Florida Private Providers was founded with a clear mission: to offer builders, developers, and property owners a faster, more efficient alternative to local government building inspections.

Under Florida Statute 553.791, qualified private providers can perform the same plan reviews and inspections as local building departments. We leverage this framework to deliver exceptional service with significantly faster turnaround times.

Based in South Florida, we serve builders across the entire state with a team of licensed engineers, architects, and inspectors.
