Private inspections can help ensure that your new build complies with Florida’s hurricane codes in several critical ways:

  1. Expert Knowledge of Hurricane Codes Private providers like Tew & Taylor specialize in the nuances of Florida's building codes, especially those related to hurricane resistance. Our experienced inspectors understand these complex regulations and can identify potential deficiencies early in the construction process. By catching these issues before they become problems, private inspections help ensure that your building is storm-ready, avoiding costly mistakes that could arise from non-compliance.

  2. Comprehensive Inspections During private inspections, the focus is on all the key elements designed to meet hurricane code standards. This includes inspecting:

    • Roofing: Ensuring that the roof is adequately anchored and resistant to high winds.

    • Windows and Doors: Verifying that impact-resistant glass and proper sealing are used to prevent damage during strong winds and rain.

    • Foundations: Ensuring that properties in flood zones are properly elevated above the base flood elevation to prevent water damage.

    These thorough inspections ensure that your new build meets all safety and structural standards, significantly reducing the risk of damage during a hurricane.

  3. Faster Approval Process One of the significant advantages of using private provider inspections is the ability to expedite the permitting and approval process. Local municipalities may have longer wait times, but private inspections are typically quicker, meaning your project can be approved and permits issued faster. With Tew & Taylor handling your inspections and plan review, you’ll avoid unnecessary delays, ensuring that your project stays on schedule while remaining compliant with Florida’s hurricane codes.
