What Is a Private Provider?

Under Florida Statute 553.791, a fee owner may elect to use a licensed private provider to perform:

Plan Review
Building Inspections
Trade Inspections
Compliance Reporting

Building departments are required to accept privately conducted reviews and inspections when performed in accordance with statutory guidelines.

GRIP Solutions ensures all documentation, notices, and reporting requirements are handled correctly and professionally.

In today’s construction environment, efficiency and responsiveness are essential. Private provider services help maintain project momentum while ensuring full code compliance.

Streamline Your Construction Project with Private Inspections

In today's construction climate, delays caused by staff shortages and overburdened government agencies can significantly impact project timelines and budgets. Partnering with a private inspection provider like GRIP Solutions Inc. can significantly improve project efficiency and client satisfaction while keeping the projected timelines intact.

Enhanced Safety and Quality

Private inspectors carry comprehensive liability insurance, offering greater protection compared to municipal inspectors. Their in-depth licensing and thorough understanding of building codes ensure superior quality control throughout the project.

Building Strong Partnerships

Unlike one-off inspections, private providers often develop ongoing relationships with contractors, fostering a deeper understanding of individual needs and schedules. This collaborative approach leads to smoother project execution and ultimately, increased client satisfaction.

Reduced Delays and Costs

Our team of highly trained inspectors make themselves readily available, minimizing wait times and ensuring prompt inspections. This proactive approach helps contractors avoid costly reinspection due to minor issues identified later. Additionally, private inspectors act as your advocate, addressing potential problems on-site while they are readily accessible. Our pricing while not always the least expensive does include the most flexibility. We offer exclusive and around the clock access to your Project Concierge; after hour inspections, same day inspections, holiday and Sunday inspections and options for video surveilled inspections are just a few of the things that set GRIP Solutions apart from our competitors.
