Projects
Pembroke Pines Building Code Department
The Building Code Services Division provides municipalities, counties and other government agencies with all the resources required to ensure effective code compliances, including The Florida Building Code, state and federal statutes, local ordinances and other rules and regulations dealing with construction, permitting and inspection.
A key benefit to our flexible plan is that the public organization does not have to deal with fluctuations in workload or other personnel issues. As the private contractor, CGA can utilize more or less personnel to meet changing demands. Additionally, the public agency does not have to worry when personnel resign or retire from a position, since the private provider is the one to ensure that adequate staffing is in place at all times.
Services include administration, plan review for permit issuance and inspection services.
Case Studies
City of Pembroke Pines, FL
The City of Pembroke Pines is the second largest city in Broward County and at one point was the fastest growing, which meant the City had to maintain a sizable building and zoning department to accommodate the boom. Unfortunately, with the current recession along with major decrease in building activity, the City was forced to evaluate options to cut cost and still provide building and zoning services. The City came to a conclusion of outsourcing the building and zoning services. On June 18 of 2009 the Pembroke Pines City Commissioners voted to approve a five-year contract with CGA to administrate the City's building and zoning department. We managed to downsize the department from 54 employees to a staff of 16, resulting in a sizable annual savings to the City.
