Permit Inspections

private provider inspection servicesTime is money. In the Construction Industry with high wages and late penalty clauses, delays waiting on building inspectors can eat deeply into the already slim profit margin.

County and City Building Inspectors are severely overloaded and at no fault of theirs; a permit inspection may be delayed several days. Every lost day costs the Builder hundreds of dollars.

CIS offers three types of building permit inspections:

  • Private Provider Permits - CIS performs all of the building permit inspections in the place of the Building Inspector and submits for the Electrical Release and CO at the completion of the project. This arrangement requires approval by the Chief Building Official at the time the permit is issued.
  • Inspection By Affidavit - CIS performs the inspections that the Buildng Inspector cannot schedule timely. This process is not accepted by all municipalities and counties.
  • After the Fact Inspection - CIS performs inspections that were missed or not performed during the construction. Because of very involved testing for electrical and plumbing, CIS elects not to do after the fact electrical and plumbing inspections in Hillsborough County or the City of Tampa.

Because of the location of the engineers, this service is available only in West Central Florida.

Excessive Permit Delays Cause Major Problems

Because you need those permit inspections to continue your work, you can’t afford costly delays to slow down the process. When you face these major delays, your costs are going to go up because you’ll end up getting behind schedule and you’ll have to pay your contractors even when they are mostly waiting for permission to keep working. That’s not a good system.

When these delays are very severe, you can even face more major problem and construction delays. Some delays have gone on so long that the building had to be temporarily put on hold because of the incoming bad weather season which made construction nearly impossible.

Permit inspection delays can also prevent problems from being identified early on when they are the easiest to correct. Again, that’s not something you want to happen because it’s going to cost you both time and money.
