How Much Does a Commercial Title 24 Report Cost?
Commercial reports are quoted rather than priced from a list. Reviewing the plans is free, and the quote follows the lighting and mechanical scope rather than the floor area.

Why there is no flat price
Because floor area predicts commercial work badly. A 10,000 square foot warehouse with a lighting replacement and no mechanical change is a smaller job than a 1,200 square foot restaurant with a new kitchen ventilation system. Pricing the warehouse higher because it is bigger would be wrong in both directions.
What actually drives the work is how many disciplines are in scope — envelope, indoor lighting, outdoor lighting, mechanical — and how much of each is new rather than existing.
What we look at to quote
The floor plan and the use of each space, the lighting schedule and reflected ceiling plan, and whatever defines the mechanical scope. From those it is clear which NRCC parts apply and whether acceptance testing is likely, which is the bulk of the estimate. The review is free and does not commit you to anything.
What tends to make a commercial job larger
Several disciplines at once, a change of use, kitchen ventilation, multiple space types with different lighting allowances, and outdoor or site lighting in addition to indoor. What tends to make it smaller: a single discipline, an untouched base building, and a design where lighting sits comfortably inside the allowance.
Residential work is different
Where a project is a house, ADU or a building of three to twenty-four units, the pricing is published and flat, because floor area and unit count predict the work well. Commercial is the one product where a plan review has to come first.
