Are Title 24 Revisions Included? What Counts as a Revision and What Is a New Project
Yes. Changes needed to make the same project comply are revisions, and our orders include them without a separate charge until the project complies, building department comments among them. A new design, a change of scope or a different building is not a revision, and a permit that expired with no construction is judged afresh under the code then in effect.

Three kinds of change, one test
A plan-check comment arrives when the examiner finds the CF1R and the drawings disagree; the applicant corrects and resubmits. A design change before construction falls under Part 1 Section 10-103(a)2B: if a specification changes so the building may no longer comply, it must be brought back into compliance and shown on amended plans, specifications and certificates. A field substitution is handled through change orders, and a field change that causes noncompliance needs approved revised plans and revised energy documents.
Where our line falls
Our published terms include unlimited revisions until the project complies, covering department comments on the documents we prepared. A new design, a change of scope or a different building is not a revision and may carry a fee. A correction caused by our own error is free. The pricing page, what a Title 24 report costs, lists revisions as included.
What the code treats as a new project
- A permit that expired with no construction under it. The department may not issue a new one until it finds in writing that the design meets Part 6 as it stands on the new application date (Section 10-103(d)1).
- A rerun after the software moved on. Previous versions expire 60 days after a minor update is approved and 90 days after a major one (Section 10-116(d)), so the same inputs can return new numbers.
Why a substitution comes back to the report
The installer's certificate declares that the installation conforms to the plans approved by the enforcement agency, so a swapped product needs a corrected certificate behind it. See what happens when the installer changes equipment and when the architect changes the plans.
What to send for a fast revision
Send the department's comment letter, the sheets that changed and the new window or equipment schedule. Timing after submittal is on permit revisions after plan check, and how much margin to keep reduces how many you need. Orders start on the residential report page.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Comments on the documents we prepared are handled as revisions under the unlimited-revisions term. Only a new design or a different building sits outside it.
Usually it is a change of scope, because the report was prepared for the building in the original order. Tell us before the new drawings are issued.
