What Florida Building Code Compliance Authority Inc does

Florida Building Code Compliance Authority Inc (FBCCA) is a privately held professional services firm headquartered in Panama City, Florida, operating since 2018 as a State of Florida Approved Private Provider for State Construction Projects under Florida Statute F.S. 553.791. The company delivers building code inspection, plan review, permitting assistance, blueprint reproduction, notary, and single-trade inspection (electrical, HVAC, plumbing) services to property owners and contractors across the Florida Panhandle, from Pensacola to Tallahassee. Its workforce consists of 11-50 employees, including DBPR-licensed former government plan examiners and inspectors, and the firm delivers real-time electronic inspection results from job-sites to clients via a proprietary client portal.

FBCCA monetizes through fee-based professional services on a project-by-project basis with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers.

The customer base is horizontally segmented across residential, commercial, healthcare, industrial, hospitality, and government construction projects. The firm has expanded cross-state via its wholly-owned Alabama Building Code Compliance Authority (ABCCA) division, which provides ICC-certified plan review and inspections in unincorporated Alabama areas not served by a local building department. Industry affiliations include the International Code Council, Private Provider Association of Florida, and Code Officials Association of Alabama. FBCCA is owner-operated with no disclosed venture capital, private equity, or institutional investment.

Direct peers

• SAFEbuilt: Provides private building department services and code compliance inspections for municipalities and developers, operating the same private-provider model that FBCCA delivers under Florida Statute 553.791. Highly comparable business model and customer base (owners, contractors, local governments).
• Engineering Express: Building code consulting firm providing plan review, inspections, and code compliance expertise to architects, contractors, and developers. Closely aligned with FBCCA's plan-review and code-compliance core service.

• Biller Reinhart Engineering Group: Florida-based engineering firm providing private provider plan review and inspection services for residential and commercial projects. Operates under the same F.S. 553.791 framework and serves overlapping owner/contractor customers in Florida.
• Universal Engineering Sciences: Florida-headquartered testing, inspection, and engineering firm with a substantial private provider and construction inspection practice. Direct overlap in Florida plan review and inspection services, though with broader geotechnical and environmental capabilities.

• Bureau Veritas: Global testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) company with building code compliance, construction inspection, and plan review services worldwide. Operates in adjacent space but as a multinational incumbent with a much broader service portfolio.
