How Long Does a Revised Title 24 Report Take, and What Else Has to Follow?
The recalculation is usually the short part. The pace is set by what surrounds it: re-signing and re-registering the CF1R, resubmitting to the department, a possible rebuild in a newer software version, and any rater confirmation. Send the correction letter in full, with the sheets as they now stand, to give the revision its best chance of closing in one round.

Where the time actually goes
A revision starts because the department commented, the design changed, or a field change broke compliance. Section 10-103(a)2B requires amended plans, specifications and certificates to go back for approval whenever a specification changes so the building may no longer comply. The Standards set no time for it. A small comment on a saved model is quick; the delays sit in the steps that need other people.
The signer
A revised certificate needs signatures again, from the documentation author and the person responsible for the design. Where the CF1R is registered, a registration signer must sign again and the revision digit goes up (JA7.5.6.2). A signer who cannot be reached holds up the whole revision, so tell us who signs.
The software version
Under Section 10-116(d) an older compliance software version expires 60 or 90 days after its replacement is approved. A revision made months after the first run may therefore need a rebuild. If the department asked for the electronic input file (Section 10-103(a)2C), a saved model gives a revision a head start, which is one more reason to keep it.
The department and the rater
Plan check restarts when revised plans arrive, and its length is the department's, as the plan check time page explains. After construction starts, the compliance manual says field changes that cause noncompliance need approved revised plans and certificates before work continues. An ECC-Rater (the renamed HERS rater) then confirms the installer's CF2R still matches the registered CF1R.
How to keep it to one round
- The correction letter in full, numbered as the department wrote it.
- Current drawings, including any schedule that changed.
- A note of what was altered on site and who signs.
Standard report turnaround is on the turnaround page. The order of steps is on the permit revision page, and common returns are in residential plan check corrections. Our residential reports include revisions until the project complies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Revisions are unlimited until the project complies, at no extra charge, on our ADU, residential and multi-family reports.
Where registration applies, no. The registered revision goes to the department, and only the latest revision is valid for submittal.
The manual says the applicant makes corrections or clarifications and resubmits revised plans and specifications. Send the comment in full so we can tell whether the certificate changes at all.
