Tools for Private Providers

Running a private provider firm means tracking permits, plan reviews, and inspections across many jurisdictions. These tools were built for exactly that work.

Disclosure · EBOX and EPIC are independent companies. Our educational content does not depend on which tools or provider you use.

The digital permit box

EBOX

A secure digital permit box for the job site. The permit, approved plans, and inspection documents live online and open from a QR code posted on site. They can also be opened remotely, which supports electronic posting of inspection records under Section 553.791.

  • One QR code on site replaces the paper permit box
  • Inspectors find the approved plans and prior reports before they start
  • Documents stay organized and protected from weather and loss
  • Works for in-person and virtual inspections

Project management for private provider firms

EPIC

Project management software developed for private provider companies: projects, permits, plan reviews, and inspections in one place, from the signed agreement to the certificate of compliance.

  • Manage all of your projects, wherever you are working
  • Schedule inspections and assign them to inspectors
  • Keep plan review comments, inspection reports, and forms with the project
  • See what is due, overdue, and waiting on the building department

Why the right tools matter now

HB 803 (effective July 1, 2026) removed advance inspection notices, made clear that virtual inspections are allowed, and tightened the building department's review timeframes. Firms that keep every document current and reachable from the job site move faster and pass audits with less friction.
