Virtual inspections and plan review in Cape Coral

Cape Coral contractors: your crew films the inspection on a phone and a licensed inspector results it within 15 minutes, or live on a call. Plans reviewed in 1 to 2 business days.

Cape Coral is one of Florida's largest building markets, with about 194,000 residents in Lee County. With that much permit volume, inspection slots fill up and crews lose hours waiting on a window. Inspektr gives Cape Coral contractors a way to finish the inspection when the work is done.

How inspections work in Cape Coral

When the install is finished, your crew films the inspection on a phone using a guided checklist for the trade. A licensed inspector results it within 15 minutes of recording, or you can do it live on a phone call, and the crew moves on to the next job instead of waiting on site. If an item needs a correction, they fix it and film it again without rebooking.

Permits and plan review for Cape Coral projects

Building permits in Cape Coral are filed through the city's Tyler EnerGov system. We prepare the package, submit it there for you and track it to issuance. Plans are reviewed in 1 to 2 business days. Because you are using a private provider under Florida Statute 553.791, permit fees typically drop 25 to 85%.

Questions from Cape Coral contractors

Can Cape Coral refuse a private provider?

No. The private provider program is Florida state law, not a local option. Section 553.791(23) of the Florida Statutes provides that a local government may not prohibit or discourage the use of a private provider, and that applies in Cape Coral the same as everywhere else in Florida.

Do permit fees go down in Cape Coral?

Using a private provider under Florida Statute 553.791 typically drops permit fees 25 to 85%, depending on the project and which services the private provider performs.

Permitting, plan review, and inspections from one firm

We prepare and file the permit, review the plans, and perform the inspections, on one project record under Florida Statute 553.791. One firm owns the job from application through certificate of occupancy, so there is no handoff between vendors for it to sit in and no one to chase but us.
