Rush / Expedite

add +50%

Need it faster than the standard turnaround? Most deliverables can be expedited — letters next business day, wall-removal packages in 48 hours — for +50% of the base fee. Availability is confirmed before you commit.

Prices are starting points. Complexity, steep or difficult sites, heavy steel, and extensive field verification move a project up from the floor — and you will know that in writing before any work begins, not on the invoice.

Straight answers

Pricing questions

Why publish prices when most engineers do not?

Because the first thing everyone wants to know is what it costs, and making people call to find out wastes their time and mine. Published floors also mean a contractor or realtor can quote a client a realistic number without calling me first.

What moves a project above the starting price?

Complexity and unknowns, mainly: difficult or steep sites, heavy structural steel, extensive field verification on an older house, unpermitted existing work that has to be documented, and unusually fast schedules.

How does the rush option work?

Need it faster than the standard turnaround? Most deliverables can be expedited — letters next business day, wall-removal packages in 48 hours — for +50% of the base fee. Availability is confirmed before you commit.

When do I pay?

You get a written quote first. Nothing starts until you approve it, and you are never surprised by the bill.

Do you charge for plan review comments?

No. Responding to structural plan review comments on a set I sealed is part of the job.
