How we helped a residential developer stay on track
Every day CC Homes waited on inspections, interest on their $60 million construction loan kept accumulating.
SAFEbuilt provided a dedicated onsite inspection team with daily coverage, and CC Homes completed all 300 homes in under six months.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a private provider and a permit expediter?
A permit expediter helps you navigate the municipal process, tracking applications, managing paperwork, and communicating with the building department on your behalf.
A private provider actually performs the plan review or inspection itself, stepping in as the licensed professional of record.
The result is a faster turnaround because your project isn't waiting in the municipal review queue at all.
Is there a fee reduction when I use a private provider?
In many states, yes. Florida law, for example, requires building departments to reduce permit fees when a private provider performs the plan review or inspection, since the department is no longer performing that work.
Ask about fee reduction eligibility when you connect with our team.
Is this legal in my state?
Private provider services are authorized in a growing number of states, including Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Arizona. Availability and requirements vary by location. When you connect with our team, we'll confirm what's available for your project and walk you through the process.
