Title 24 Reports from $199 100% Online

What the base price covers

The $199 ADU report covers the compliance documentation a building department asks for at permit: the calculations, the Certificate of Compliance, and the forms that go with the submittal. It includes an ADU up to 1,000 square feet of conditioned floor area, and two revisions, which is what makes plan check comments a normal part of the job rather than a separate charge.

What adds to it

Additional conditioned floor area beyond 1,000 square feet is itemised in the order form, so the figure shown before payment is the figure charged. Turnaround is the other variable: standard is included, a 24-hour rush is $99, and priority handling is $199. A printed and mailed copy is $39 where a jurisdiction still wants paper, and a third revision beyond the two included is $49.

What does not change the price

Climate zone does not. A zone 16 ADU costs the same to document as a zone 6 one, even though the requirements it has to satisfy are different. Nor does the compliance path — an ADU treated as an addition because it converts a garage is priced the same as a newly constructed detached unit, though the two are modelled differently.

Commercial and nonresidential work is the exception to flat pricing: that scope is quoted after the plans are reviewed, because the documentation load depends on the lighting and mechanical scope rather than on floor area alone.
