Private Provider Services: Fast-Track Permitting with LB Engineering
Navigating building permits and inspections can slow down your project—unless you have a better way. At LB Engineering, our Private Provider Services are built to expedite the permitting and inspection process, eliminate delays, and maintain full code compliance. With decades of experience and a trusted engineering team behind every decision, we help contractors, developers, and architects move projects forward—fast.
Why Choose Private Provider Services?
Private Provider Services are a smart, Florida-approved alternative to traditional city or county building departments. Under Florida Statute 553.791, property owners can hire a licensed engineer or firm (like LB Engineering) to conduct plan reviews and inspections instead of waiting on local building officials.
Why it makes sense to switch to a private provider here:
-
Faster Approvals – Speed up the permit process without cutting corners.
-
Strict Code Compliance – Our in-house engineers ensure accuracy, documentation, and code alignment.
-
Direct Communication – Deal with one team that knows your project from start to finish.
-
Project Flexibility – Stay on schedule and avoid unexpected site delays.
We serve a variety of projects—from residential homes to large-scale commercial developments—across Fort Myers, Naples, Orlando, Tampa, and throughout Florida.
