FAQ
Questions, answered.
Don't see your question? Call +1 813 791 9095 or send the details below.
All questionsWhat should I send to request a proposal?
Send the project location, a short description, the current stage, and any plans or written comments you have. Photographs or specialist reports help where they explain the request.
Is the first consultation free?
Yes. Tell us about the project and we will review what you have, talk through the engineering and approvals it likely involves, and outline the next steps. There is no charge for the consultation, and you decide afterward whether to move forward.
Do I need to know which service to select?
No. Describe what you are planning or the issue you need addressed. We can review the information and define the scope.
What areas do you serve?
Grey Load is based in Tampa Bay and takes on projects in other parts of Florida. Share the project location so we can confirm availability and the services we can support there.
What is a private provider?
Florida law (Section 553.791, Florida Statutes) allows a property owner or contractor to use a qualified private provider for plan review and inspection services. The local building department keeps its role: it accepts the required submissions, issues the permit and the certificate of occupancy or completion, and can audit the work. Tell us the project location and stage so we can confirm what applies.
Can you promise a delivery date before reviewing the project?
No. The schedule has to account for the scope, the required inputs, and availability. A project-specific target is set once those are understood.
