Private Provider Program Benefits

Our team assists in accelerating project completion and processing compliance paperwork in a timely manner while freeing up valuable resources, which will help developers and contractors meet important deadlines.

Additional benefits are cost savings in permit fee reductions offered by municipalities for using Private Provider services, (i.e. City of Miami offers up to a 33% discount and City of Miami Beach offers up to a 25% discount on total permit costs when using a private provider).

Private Provider Services

Also known as “third party inspectors”. Private provider is an alternative to plan review and inspections in lieu of local building departments. This is allowed by Florida Statutes 553.791.

Will anyone else review the plans?

Home | Ortus Engineering, P.A.

Concurrently while the Private Provider reviews the Building Department portion, the local jurisdiction will need to review for Zoning, Public Works, Planning, D.E.RM, Fire, and any other local requirements. Ortus Engineering provides full coordination with these entities to obtain permits with a minimum number of review cycles.

One of the most complete Private Providers and Reviewers from town. They not only help during all City of Miami related permitting processes but also inspect, review and get things done.

Unlike the bureaucracy of Gov't agencies that can bog down the plan review, permitting & inspection process, private providers (3rd party inspectors) can be a developer's (and contractor's) ally. I am using Ortus Engineering currently on Miami Beach and look forward to this job completing so we can move onto the next one!

Victor Nieves

Ortus Engineering is a private provider firm that reviews drawings and provides inspections on behalf of the AHJ. When the city is backed up, which seems like it is always the case, Ortus is an excellent alternate method to expedite drawing reviews, schedule inspections, and speed-up construction as a whole. The employees at Ortus are very helpful, and they go out of their way to help a project even if the task is outside of their scope. I would definitely work with Ortus again in the future and highly recommend to others.
