What cost will be charged for the Title 24 Report ?
The cost of a Title 24 report will vary depending on the size of the project, the building type (residential or commercial) and the complexity of the building systems. The simpler a short walk to a residential property is, the less it’s going to cost, larger commercial projects will require more extensive analysis and documentation.
