INTRODUCING ARC PRIVATE PROVIDER SERVICES

Florida’s permitting timelines are one of the biggest schedule risks on active projects. This guide explains how ARC Private Provider Services, operating under Florida’s Alternative Plans Review and Inspections Program, gives developers, architects, and owners a faster path through plans review, permitting, and inspections, without waiting on municipal queues.

Why This Guide Matters

Permitting delays in Florida are not a minor inconvenience. They are a direct threat to project timelines and budgets. Teams across the state are dealing with:

• Plan review queues that stretch weeks or months at the local jurisdiction
• RFI cycles that stall progress and push back CO dates
• Multiple project types (commercial, residential, industrial, healthcare) all competing for the same limited municipal capacity
• Confusion around what a private provider actually is and whether it fits their project

This guide explains how the alternative provider model works and how ARC helps developers avoid the wait.

What You’ll Learn

• What Florida’s Alternative Plans Review and Inspections Program actually is. The legal framework under F.S. 553.791 and why it exists.
• How private provider review differs from municipal review. What runs in parallel, what changes for your project team, and where the time savings come from.
• Which project types benefit most. Why commercial, residential, industrial, and healthcare projects each see different advantages.
• What the process looks like end to end. From engagement through plans review, permitting coordination, and inspections.
• How to evaluate if a private provider fits your project. The questions to ask before you commit.
• What sets ARC apart. Why teams across Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and beyond choose ARC over the standard municipal path.
