How the price is built

The $245 base covers conditioned floor area up to 3,500 square feet. Above that, area is charged in steps of 500 square feet at $49 a step, so a 4,200 square foot house is two steps above the base. The figure is calculated in the order form before payment, so what is shown is what is charged.

Turnaround is separate: standard is included, a 24-hour rush is $99, and priority handling is $199. A printed and mailed copy is $39. Two revisions are included, and a third is $49.

What does not affect the price

Climate zone does not, though it changes the requirements the design has to satisfy. Neither does the compliance route — a house that needs the performance path because of a glazing-heavy design costs the same to document as one that clears the prescriptive checklist.

Whether the project is an addition, an alteration or new construction does not change the base price either. It changes the work behind it, but the price follows floor area.

Where an addition sits

An addition is priced on the conditioned area being added, not on the finished size of the house, which is usually the cheaper reading. A 500 square foot addition to a 3,000 square foot house is a 500 square foot job.

Multi-family and commercial work is priced differently — multi-family from $345, and commercial quoted after the plans are reviewed, because there the documentation load follows the lighting and mechanical scope rather than floor area alone.
