Winston Services

Winston Services, Inc. provides plan review, inspection, and permitting services to private owners and developers throughout Texas. It works as a Private Provider, certified by many jurisdictions to carry out full plan review, inspection, planning, and permit expediting on a municipality's behalf, which lets a project avoid waiting on a municipal department backlog.

Before construction starts, the firm reviews plans for compliance with building, energy, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and other codes as adopted by the local Texas community, using electronic plan review. It states that comments on plans for new construction are returned within 7 working days and that any review of corrections is turned around within 5 business days. Inspections are offered next day, provided the request arrives by 4:00pm the previous business day.

The company was incorporated in 1999 and says it has reviewed and inspected projects with a cumulative valuation of over $10 billion. It employs only inspectors certified by nationally recognised certifying agencies, including the International Code Council and the International Council of Building Officials, licensed and certified by the State of Texas, with municipal code enforcement experience across assembly, educational, hospital, institutional, office, retail, and warehouse or distribution buildings. Winston Services is a member of the SAFEbuilt family of companies and draws on that parent for additional capacity.

Project sizes range from gas stations and office space to college campuses and airports. Confirm that the jurisdiction holding your project accepts private provider services, and what the firm charges per project, since no pricing is published.
