Why St. Johns County Builders Use Tew & Taylor
St. Johns County Building Department permits and inspects construction activity throughout the county. During high-demand periods, inspection calendars can run 1–3 weeks and plan review can take several weeks. For contractors managing active jobs, those delays can create real costs in financing carry, subcontractor remobilization, jobsite coordination, and delivery commitments.
Tew & Taylor removes that constraint. Same-day inspections help crews move when the work is ready. 2-day plan review helps permits issue weeks earlier. On average, clients save 6–7 weeks of construction schedule per project.
