Virtual Inspections for Demolition Contractors in Florida
Most Florida demolition permits do not need a plan review — they need a fast, clean final inspection so the site can be closed out and the next phase of work can start. Freedom Code Compliance (FCC) performs virtual final inspections for residential demolition permits under Florida Statute 553.791, covering interior demo, full structural demo, and accessory-structure teardowns. Asbestos abatement and environmental review stay with licensed abatement specialists and the jurisdiction; the contractor files the permit.

We solve your biggest challenges
- Waiting days for a building department inspector while the site sits idle and rented equipment burns through the day
- Demo finals getting stuck behind jurisdiction-retained utility disconnect verifications that were not coordinated early
- Post-demo site conditions (debris, erosion, dust control) creating vague inspection-windows the jurisdiction won't commit to
- Insurance-driven rebuild timelines blown up because the demo close-out inspection is pending

FAQ
Demolition Contractors FAQs
Does a residential demolition permit require plan review with FCC?
Typically no. Most Florida residential demolition permits are inspection-only — Freedom Code Compliance performs the virtual final demolition inspection to verify the structure was removed, the site is stabilized, and debris has been cleared per permit scope. Plan review is rarely required for straightforward teardowns. FCC does not pull the demo permit, file the NTBO, or handle asbestos abatement, environmental review, or utility disconnect sign-offs — those stay with the contractor, abatement specialists, and the jurisdiction.
What about asbestos, lead paint, and environmental review on older Florida homes?
Those items stay outside FCC's scope. Florida demolition on pre-1981 structures often triggers NESHAP asbestos notification through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, plus any local environmental or tree-protection review. Freedom Code Compliance does not perform abatement surveys, file NESHAP notifications, or sign off on environmental compliance. Your licensed abatement contractor and the jurisdiction handle that work. FCC steps in at the final demolition inspection once the structure is down and the site is ready for close-out verification.
How fast are virtual demolition inspections?
Live video inspections through myFCC Mobile return results before the call ends — typically matched with a licensed inspector in minutes. Offline photo and video submissions, with GPS-tagged and timestamped media, are reviewed and returned within minutes during normal business hours. That compares to building department demo-final windows that often run several business days. Turnaround values here describe inspection timing only — not plan review, which is rarely needed on demo permits.
