    6         Section 17. Paragraph (a) of subsection (5) of section
    7  553.79, Florida Statutes, is amended, and subsection (18) is
    8  added to that section, to read:
    9         553.79 Permits; applications; issuance; inspections.—
   10         (5)(a) The enforcing agency shall require a special
   11  inspector to perform structural inspections on a threshold
   12  building pursuant to a structural inspection plan prepared by
   13  the engineer or architect of record. The structural inspection
   14  plan must be submitted to and approved by the enforcing agency
   15  before prior to the issuance of a building permit for the
   16  construction of a threshold building. The purpose of the
   17  structural inspection plan is to provide specific inspection
   18  procedures and schedules so that the building can be adequately
   19  inspected for compliance with the permitted documents. The
   20  special inspector may not serve as a surrogate in carrying out
   21  the responsibilities of the building official, the architect, or
   22  the engineer of record. The contractor’s contractual or
   23  statutory obligations are not relieved by any action of the
   24  special inspector. The special inspector shall determine that a
   25  professional engineer who specializes in shoring design has
   26  inspected the shoring and reshoring for conformance with the
   27  shoring and reshoring plans submitted to the enforcing agency. A
   28  fee simple title owner of a building, which does not meet the
   29  minimum size, height, occupancy, occupancy classification, or
   30  number-of-stories criteria which would result in classification
   31  as a threshold building under s. 553.71(12) 553.71(11), may
   32  designate such building as a threshold building, subject to more
   33  than the minimum number of inspections required by the Florida
   34  Building Code.
