Private Provider Services in Florida
Private Provider
Faster Permits. Reliable Reviews. Expert Inspections.
At LB Engineering, we offer a faster, more efficient alternative to traditional permitting and inspections through our Private Provider Services under Florida Statute 553.791. Instead of relying solely on your local building department for plan reviews and inspections, you can designate our licensed professionals to handle these services helping you avoid delays, reduce stress, and complete your project on time.
Our expert engineers and inspectors are here to guide you every step of the way whether you’re starting new construction or navigating a major renovation. We’ve got your back, from plan review to the final inspection.
After-Hours or Weekend Support? We’re Here When You Need Us.
We understand construction doesn’t stop at 5 PM and neither do we. Our team is available during evenings and weekends to support your project and keep things moving.
What is a Private Provider?
A Private Provider is a state-authorized professional or firm (like LB Engineering) that can perform plan reviews and construction inspections in place of the local jurisdiction. Florida law allows this option to help reduce building department workloads and speed up the construction process.
