  • Retainer or Down Payment Policy:
    • Over our years in the trade, we have found it good business to require a retainer, or down payment before we begin work.  Therefore:
    • 50% down payment & remaining amount due at completion of plans.
      • Example: $2000 project.  $1000 down payment to begin work.
        Remaining $1000 due at plan pick up.
      • Larger projects are often split into 3 draws of 33% progress payments
  • Plans Books: <top>
    • $35.00 each  Shipping & Handling included
      • Example: 2 Arizona House Plan books x $35.00 = $70.00

    • With 'minor' modifications: $0.65 per livable square foot + $65/hour for modifications
      • Many very minor, non-structural modifications are included and not charged for
    • With 'major' modifications: this is determined on a per plan basis, and depends on the complexity,  but typically the per livable square foot price is modified.

  • New Home Design <top>

      • Example: 2000 livable square feet x 1.50 = $3000

        Totaling $3250
  • Additions/Remodels <top>
    • These projects vary dramatically in size, complexity & detail & is therefore difficult to place them into a single price structure.  Therefore, we will calculate the time we’ll spend on your home, then provide you with a proposal   We do have a $1500 minimum.  This is where most small jobs fit.
  • Detached Garages & Other Accessory Structures <top>

*DISCLAIMER -  If municipalities require a registered Engineer these costs are additional, and typically follow the above price structure.  Plan reviews, unfortunately, are inconsistent from day to day, from reviewer to reviewer, and from city to city.  Therefore, we can not guarantee no redlines even if the same plans passed through the same city just days before.  This is what makes hiring a professional that understands the cities and the building codes so important.  All prices are subject to change with out notice.  See our Terms & Conditions for additional information.
