About Tew & Taylor
Tew & Taylor was founded in 2008 by Doug Taylor and Beverly Tew. Since then, the team has been providing Private Inspections and Plan Review for clients all over Southeast Florida.
About Private Provider
Enacted October 1, 2002, and then revised on July 1, 2006, F.S. §553.791 provides that homeowners "may elect to use a private provider to provide plans review or required building inspections, or both." The law also ensures that projects using private provider save money on permitting fees charged by the governing municipality.
Tew & Taylor partners with homeowners and home builders across Florida to provide private plan review, inspections, and permitting management. Using Tew & Taylor expedites projects and removes the headaches of permitting during construction.
