24-Hour SFR Turnaround

All Project Types
Residential, commercial, industrial, and multi-family projects. New construction, additions, and alterations.

All reviews performed by Florida-licensed plans examiners with trade-specific expertise.
Code Compliance
Reviewed against Florida Building Code, local amendments, and accessibility requirements — every discipline, every time.
How It Works
Submit your plans. Get results in 24 hours for SFR, 2 days for commercial. That's it.
Upload Your Plans
Submit your construction documents through the myFCC portal. Upload architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing — whatever the project requires. We'll confirm receipt and begin review.
FCC Reviews for Code Compliance
Our licensed professionals review your plans against the Florida Building Code. If approved, you receive stamped plans, the NTBO (Notice to Building Official), and any required private provider paperwork through the app. If corrections are needed, we tell you exactly what to fix.
File with the Building Department
You or your permit tech files the NTBO, stamped plans, permit application, and any other required documents with the building department. Under FL 553.791, private provider review can shorten the review portion of the timeline and may reduce permit fees depending on scope and jurisdiction.
Request Inspections on Your Timeline
Once construction begins, request inspections through the myFCC app whenever you're ready. Live video inspections connect you with a licensed inspector in minutes. Offline submissions return results in 1-2 hours. No scheduling windows. No waiting around. See on-demand inspection scheduling and execution for how the dispatch side works.
FCC Files the COC
Once required FCC inspections pass, FCC files the Certificate of Compliance with the building department for the private-provider scope. Inspection results are transmitted automatically after each FCC inspection, while jurisdiction-retained items still stay with the AHJ.
Revision Reviews
Got correction comments back?
Revision cycles can quietly blow up a schedule. If updated sheets, correction comments, or re-submittals are what is holding up the permit, see how FCC handles revision reviews under FL 553.791 and where your team still owns the filing side.

- Structural
- Mechanical (HVAC)
- Electrical
- Plumbing

Florida Building Code Review Services, Under FL 553.791
Florida contractors search for both "plan review" and "building code review" — in practice they describe the same work: a licensed examiner checking construction documents against the Florida Building Code and applicable local amendments so the project can be permitted and built. Freedom Code Compliance performs that review as a private provider under Florida Statute 553.791.
As a licensed private provider under Florida Statute 553.791, FCC's plans examiners review your plan set for structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, energy, and accessibility code compliance across every discipline. Single-family residential reviews average 24 hours. Commercial and multifamily average 2 business days.
Plan review vs. building code review: There is no difference. "Plan review" is the term the Florida Building Code and building departments use. "Building code review" is how contractors often describe the same service when searching online. FCC performs the full-discipline code-compliance review either way.
Project Types We Review
Freedom Code Compliance handles plan review across every major construction type in Florida.
FAQ
Florida Plan Review Questions
What are private provider plan review services in Florida?
Private provider plan review services let a Florida contractor or owner use a licensed private provider under Florida Statute 553.791 to review construction documents for Florida Building Code compliance instead of waiting only on the local building department review queue.
How fast are FCC plan reviews?
FCC averages 24 hours for single-family residential plan reviews and 2 business days for commercial and multifamily plan reviews. Scope, completeness, and correction cycles can affect the final timeline.
Does FCC file my permit application or NTBO?
No. FCC reviews the plans and provides the private-provider paperwork after approval, but the contractor, owner, permit tech, or permit expediter files the permit application and NTBO with the building department.
What codes does FCC review against?
FCC reviews against the applicable Florida Building Code volumes and project-specific disciplines, including structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, energy, accessibility, and other applicable requirements based on scope.
How You Keep More Money
Every day waiting on inspections costs you money. Here's where it goes—and how FCC stops the bleeding.
Stop Paying to Wait
A home waiting for inspection costs you $500-2,000 per week in financing, insurance, and idle crew time.
Save $2,000-8,000 per project
Finish More Jobs Per Year
Close out faster, invoice sooner, start the next job. One extra project per year at your margins? That's real money.
Increase annual revenue
Know When We Show Up
No more "we'll call you when we're available." Schedule inspections when they work for your crew, not whenever the building department gets around to it.
Predictable scheduling
Plan reviews in 1-2 days. Not weeks.
Apply to Work With FCC
You've done the math on what a 3-week plan review lag costs. FCC turns that around in 1-2 days — and inspections get matched in minutes, not scheduled into a vague window where your crew waits all morning.
