FAQ
Repeat commercial new construction: FAQs
What commercial work does FCC take?
Repeat commercial new construction: the same building at site after site, such as restaurant chains. FCC does not take threshold buildings or hotels.
What occupancy classifications does FCC handle?
FCC reviews Commercial New Building Construction projects across A-2 (restaurants, assembly), B (business/office), M (mercantile/retail), S-1 (moderate-hazard storage and warehouse), F-1 (moderate-hazard factory and industrial), and mixed-use under FBC-Building Chapter 3. Occupancy classification drives downstream requirements for Chapter 5 area/height, Chapter 7 fire-resistance ratings, Chapter 9 sprinkler thresholds, and Chapter 10 egress.
How fast are commercial plan reviews with FCC?
Most commercial plan reviews take 1–2 days, with revision reviews prioritized to keep the job moving.
Can commercial builders use a private provider in Florida?
Yes. F.S. 553.791 lets the fee owner, or the owner's contractor with the owner's explicit written authorization, choose a private provider for plan review and inspection services on qualifying projects. That gives commercial builders a lawful way to reduce dependency on local building department queues while keeping permit review and inspections moving.
Is Freedom Code Compliance a permit expediter?
No. FCC is a private provider, not a permit expediter. We do not replace your permit runner or filing consultant. We speed up the technical review and inspection work that often creates the biggest delay on commercial projects.
Can FCC work alongside my permit expediter or expediting consultant?
Yes. Many commercial teams already have a permit expediter, architect, or expediting consultant managing submissions and municipal coordination. FCC fits into that process by delivering private-provider plan reviews and inspections so your expediting team is not waiting on slow public review cycles.
Do virtual inspections work for commercial construction projects?
Yes, when the scope is eligible for private-provider inspection and the inspection can be documented correctly. FCC offers live virtual inspections with results during the call and offline photo-based inspections with results typically returned within minutes.
Does FCC pull permits or file permit applications for commercial builders?
No. FCC does not pull permits or act as your filing agent. Your contractor, design team, owner representative, or permit expediter still handles permit application logistics. FCC handles the private-provider plan review and inspection scope.
How do the 2026 private-provider fee updates affect commercial builders in Florida?
For commercial projects, F.S. 553.791(2)(d) (HB 803, effective July 1, 2026) requires at least a 25% reduction of the plan-review or inspection portion of the permit fee, and at least a 50% reduction when the private provider performs all required plan review and inspection services.
Do you offer volume pricing?
Yes. Volume pricing is available for contractors at scale. Talk to sales and tell us how many permits you run a month.
