Florida tech company works with BORA to slash inspection wait times and speed construction

Inspected, a tech-enabled private provider offering alternative plan review and remote virtual inspections for residential and commercial contractors, applauds the Broward County Board of Rules and Appeals (BORA) for its decision to now allow private providers to conduct remote virtual inspections on building permit-related projects. The board’s vote on August 14, 2025, to amend Chapter 1, Section 110.3.13 of the Florida Building Code, Broward County Administrative Provisions, will have an immediate impact on contractors, home builders, and property owners across the county.

Inspected worked with BORA to repeal the restriction on remote virtual inspections and how they could be used, aiming to streamline the construction process and reduce lengthy delays for both contractors and homeowners.

"As a Broward County-based company, we're proud to work with BORA to bring the full benefits of remote virtual inspections to our local community," said Ian Cohen, President and COO of Inspected. "This decision by BORA will revolutionize the construction industry and attract new business, just as it has across the rest of Florida, by increasing efficiency and reducing costs while maintaining rigorous safety standards."

Cohen first presented the advantages of expanding remote virtual inspections during a May 8th, 2025, BORA meeting. Subsequent meetings on July 10, 2025, and August 14, 2025, further refined the need to repeal the restriction on remote virtual inspections, culminating in the previous amendment's full repeal. The board’s vote aligns Broward County with the rest of Florida in embracing comprehensive remote virtual inspection practices and opening access for private providers to serve contractors throughout the county.

“When I founded Inspected, I saw the urgent need for remote virtual inspections across Florida,” said Anthony Perera, Founder at Inspected. “Our vision always included Broward County benefiting from this technology, and today that vision becomes reality. We're fully operational in Broward right now, ready to help contractors apply for permits with Inspected attached as their private provider and start inspecting their projects as early as next week.”

Since January 1, 2024, Inspected has conducted over 100,000 inspections across Florida. The company's remote virtual inspection platform, Permit Hub, uses advanced features such as high-definition video streaming, inspection checklists, geo-tagging, and access to approved plans via a secure platform to ensure thorough and code-compliant inspections. Inspected, recently recognized as the #1 South Florida Business Journal's fastest-growing company under $10 million, stands ready to support local contractors and property owners in adopting this transformative technology.

Inspected has already registered with all cities across Broward County and is fully operational to work with contractors of all types. To learn more about Inspected and its alternative plan review and remote virtual inspection technology and services, visit www.inspected.com.
