What We Are

In any business or profession, you are only as effective as the information you receive. Whether you are estimating a job as a contractor, designing a repair strategy, or obtaining info to settle an insurance claim, your final deliverable is limited by the quality of the information that you have to work with. 

Insurance & Restoration Professionals (IRP) is a building community portal created to provide building departments, design professionals, builders, restoration professionals and insurance industry professionals the simplicity of using one website to post and retrieve information on all aspects of the Construction and Reconstruction Industry.  With the most current and accurate information possible at your finger tips, IRP-FL will help you to produce a more accurate and better quality product.

The Problem
During the hurricane seasons of 2004 and 2005 requests grew for routine building code information pertaining to the various municipalities throughout Florida. The problem of finding accurate and current applications of code sometimes took more effort than time allowed.
How We Do It
The staff of IRP-FL consists of professional and experienced employees that have a comprehensive knowledge of the construction and restoration industry. By centralizing local building code information for the municipalities within Florida, giving subscribers access to historic codes dating back to the 1970's, and having all the wind speed maps for the municipalities on one page, the result is a website that provides you with the most current and accurate information available in one place.  By bringing all of this information to one site, the time it took to locate relevant information was significantly reduced.
