Title 24 compliance reports, start to permit.
CF1R for residential and NRCC for commercial, modelled in CEC-approved compliance software and delivered as a signed forms sheet that drops straight into your plan set.
Every residential project type
New single-family homes
Full performance model covering envelope, HVAC, water heating, ducts, and the 2025 solar PV and battery-ready requirements. Delivered as CF1R-PRF-01-E with the ECC/HERS measure list the field will need.
From $300
ADUs, JADUs and garage conversions
Detached, attached, junior or a standard garage conversion. Modelled the way the plan checker expects to see it. Most ADUs are exempt from the PV requirement, but the envelope, HVAC and water heating rules still apply in full.
From $200
Additions and alterations
The job type most often modelled wrong. An addition needs an existing zone and an addition zone so the new floor area is judged on its own standard. Fold them into one and the compliance path is wrong before the numbers start.
From $300
Two zones, or the whole thing is wrong
On an addition or alteration, the existing house and the new work are held to different
standards. The model has to carry both: an EXISTING zone and an ADDITION zone, with each wall correctly flagged new, existing or
altered, and each opening attached to the right one.
Get it wrong and you still get a file that opens, prints, and looks like a compliance report. It just answers a different question than the one the city asked. Knowing to look for it is the difference, and it is checked on every addition. If the existing conditions can't be established from the plans, they get surveyed, not guessed.
NRCC documentation for commercial work.
Office, retail, warehouse, tenant improvement, mixed-use and high-rise residential, covering envelope, mechanical and lighting, plus the whole-building performance run.
NRCC-ENV
Envelope: walls, roof, glazing, skylights, and the fenestration ratios that trip most TI projects.
NRCC-MCH
Mechanical: equipment efficiency, economizers, controls, duct sealing and acceptance testing.
NRCC-LTI
Indoor lighting: allowed power density, controls, daylighting zones and the tailored method where it pays.
NRCC-PRF
The whole-building performance certificate, where the prescriptive route won't get there.
Commercial work is quoted on a call and priced from the drawings. Scope varies far more than residential, so we quote it properly rather than pretending one number fits.
The deliverable
Every job includes
- The signed certificate of compliance, sized to drop into your plan set without reformatting
- The list of field-verified measures, so the contractor knows what's coming
- Registration with an approved provider wherever the project requires it
- A short plain-English note on anything in the design that's carrying the margin
- Unlimited plan-check corrections, for the life of the project
What we need from you
- The architectural plan set as a PDF: floor plans, elevations, schedules
- The project address, so the climate zone is right
- Anything already decided about HVAC or water heating
- Optional: your Bluebeam measurement CSV, if you have one
That is all we need to start. There is no intake form and no portal to sign up for.
About the reports
Do I need a Title 24 report for a remodel?
Only if the remodel touches something the energy code regulates: windows, insulation, HVAC, ducts, or water heating. Move a wall and repaint, and you don't. Replace ten windows and the furnace, and you do.
If you're not sure, send the scope. If you don't need us, we'll tell you that.
Can you use our existing Bluebeam takeoff?
Yes, and it speeds things up. Export the measurement summary to CSV and send it with the plans. If you don't have one, we do the takeoff ourselves, and it's included.
What if my plans are hand-drawn or scanned?
Still workable. Scanned and hand-drawn sets get taken off by hand. Same price, sometimes a day longer.
Do you do the CF2R and CF3R forms too?
CF2R forms are the installing contractor's responsibility, since they certify what was actually installed. CF3R forms come from the field verifier. We produce the CF1R and can coordinate the whole registry chain so nothing stalls at final inspection.
Send the plans. Get a number the same day.
Fixed price before we start, five business days to signed forms, and plan-check corrections included for the life of the project.
Or call (909) 914-0305 and you'll get the engineer, not a receptionist.
