Florida Statute 553.791 established the Private Provider program to give property owners and contractors an alternative to municipal building department inspections. A licensed private provider performs the same plan reviews and field inspections as the local building official — but with greater scheduling flexibility and significantly faster turnaround times, often reducing inspection waits from weeks to days.
Private provider services are available for most building permit types, including new construction, additions, alterations, and specialty systems. The private provider reviews plans for Florida Building Code compliance, performs scheduled field inspections at each required phase, documents findings, and submits threshold inspection reports directly to the local building department — all with the same legal authority as a municipal inspector.
MDZ is a Florida-licensed private provider serving projects across Miami-Dade and Broward County. Our private provider services are especially valuable for developers and contractors with tight project schedules who cannot afford unpredictable municipal inspection waits. We coordinate directly with your project team, work around your construction schedule, and deliver reports promptly to keep permits advancing.
