Florida Prototype Building Program

The objective of the Florida Prototype Building Program (FPBP) is to provide a system of construction plans review and approval for public and private buildings and structures intended for repetitive, site-built construction throughout the state of Florida. Applied Research Associates is the administrator of this program, and has arranged for a team of building officials and plans reviewers to review submitted construction documents for compliance with the latest version of the Florida Building Code.

The FPBP makes use of the Florida Department of Community Affairs' web based Building Code Information System (BCIS) at: www.floridabuilding.org

The BCIS requires that you be a registered user, and login to the system before you can navigate or use the FPBP-even if you are already a BCIS user for other "Site Navigation" uses, you must register as a Prototype Building User. (A "user" is anybody using any part of the BCIS)
