How Long Does a Multi-Family Title 24 Report Take?

Two to three business days as standard, with a 24-hour rush available for $99. On a multi-family project the pace is set by how many distinct unit types there are, not by the size of the building.

Unit types, not square footage

A twenty-unit building with three repeated floor plans is a faster job than an eight-unit building where every layout differs. Each distinct plan has to be modelled on its own, with its own envelope exposures and its own glazing, so the count of unique types is the honest predictor of how long a multi-family report takes.

Supplying a unit matrix — which plan type sits at which position, and how many of each — removes the slowest part of the job, which is working that out from the drawings.

Orientation and position

The same floor plan behaves differently as a corner unit, a middle unit, a ground-floor unit and a top-floor one, because the number of exposed walls and the roof or floor condition change. Those variants have to be handled, and the drawings need to make clear which units are which.

Common areas and central systems

Corridors, lobbies, laundries and any centrally served plant are part of the picture and are often the last information to arrive. Where a building has central space conditioning or central water heating, that scope has to be defined before the model can be completed.

The dependency that sits outside the report

Where the design relies on measures needing field verification, a certified rater has to test the work and the certificates have to be registered. That happens on site, near the end of construction, and it is the step most likely to hold up a sign-off. It does not slow the report, but it is much cheaper to plan for at design stage than to discover at inspection.
