Can you handle mixed-use?

Yes. A building with commercial at grade and residential above may require both residential and nonresidential documentation, which we identify at quoting.

How are extra units priced?

Each unit beyond the included four is +$95, itemised in the order form before you pay.

Multi-Family Title 24 Energy Reports

Q: Do multi-family buildings use the same rules as houses?

Not necessarily. Depending on the building, multi-family projects may fall under the multifamily provisions rather than the low-rise residential ones. We confirm which applies before starting.

Multi-family work adds a dimension that single-family projects do not have: repetition. Unit types repeat, but orientation, adjacency and exposure do not. A corner unit with two exterior walls and a middle unit with one behave differently, and the documentation has to reflect that rather than modelling one unit and multiplying.

Which code applies

Multi-family buildings do not automatically follow the single-family rules. Depending on the building, multi-family projects may fall under the multifamily provisions rather than the low-rise residential ones, and taller or mixed-use buildings can involve nonresidential requirements for the commercial portion. Establishing which applies is the first step, and it is worth getting right — it determines the entire document set.

Mixed-use

A building with retail at grade and apartments above may need both residential and nonresidential documentation. We identify that at quoting rather than after delivery, so you are not surprised by a second scope halfway through plan check.

Pricing

From $345, including up to 4,000 sq ft and 4 units. Additional square footage is +$25 per 500 sq ft and each additional unit is +$95, both itemised in the order form before payment. Larger developments are quoted individually.
