What Is Included in My Title 24 Report?

You receive the compliance documentation your building department expects for your project type, delivered as a permit-ready PDF.

For a low-rise residential project, the central document is the CF1R — Certificate of Compliance. It states the project details, the compliance approach used, the modelled results, the mandatory measures that apply, and the special features a field verifier or plan checker needs to know about.

A residential package normally contains

  • CF1R Certificate of Compliance for your project scope
  • Compliance results — the proposed design against the standard design
  • Envelope details: opaque assemblies, fenestration, U-factors and SHGC
  • HVAC and water heating information
  • The mandatory measures summary
  • Registration where the project requires it

Documents that come later

The CF1R is the design-stage document. Two others appear during construction and are not produced by us at the design stage: the CF2R Certificate of Installation, completed by the contractor who installs the equipment, and the CF3R Certificate of Verification, completed by a HERS rater after field verification or diagnostic testing. Knowing which document belongs to whom prevents a lot of confusion at inspection.

Nonresidential projects

Commercial work uses a different document family — the NRCC certificates of compliance covering envelope, mechanical and lighting as your scope requires. Your quote states exactly which forms your project needs.

Everything is delivered by email as a PDF, formatted the way California building departments expect it, and two revisions are included.
