Building permit design services
Building Permit design cost breakdown for typical projects
At Mavericks, we seamlessly blend structural and architectural design, excelling in the intricate realms of building, permitting, and variance processes. Our passion for challenges is evident in our project approach. Our team comprises highly skilled and experienced architectural technicians and building designers, each with substantial construction expertise. This expertise ensures that our designs are not only innovative but also construction-friendly, minimizing any potential issues during execution.
Choosing Mavericks means opting for a unique and detailed approach to your building permit design. The involvement of a structural engineer at every stage adds immense value to complex designs, enhancing both the quality and integrity of the project.
Our design and drafting services for renovation projects are priced at $110/hr. The scope of such projects typically ranges from 20-40 hours for straightforward home additions, with more hours required for projects of greater complexity. For new constructions, we prefer pricing based on square footage, taking into account the design complexity and permitting requirements. An engineering fee is included in the design cost which creates an extremely cost effective package. In cases where design renderings are essential for client decision-making, we include the service on our proposal. New construction designs are estimated on a square footage basis, categorized as complex, average, or simple.
Our architectural design services deliver a set of permit-ready drawings, tailored to meet specific municipal requirements. With Mavericks, your vision is translated into a tangible, compliant, and beautifully designed reality.
Structural Engineering Services
Structural Engineering cost breakdown for typical residential projects
When choosing an engineering firm, cost and quality of services are often key factors. At our firm, we believe in transparency regarding our pricing, recognizing that many clients need a ballpark figure for budgeting their projects. It's important to note that our costs are specific to each project and are determined in advance based on an estimated number of hours for renovations.
For new residential builds, pricing is flexible—calculated hourly, by square footage, or as a percentage of the base cost, depending on the project's scope and our involvement level. In commercial projects, a base cost percentage fee is applied when most appropriate, considering factors like complexity and travel distance. The following are rough estimates for budgeting purposes:
- Site Consultation: $450, plus an optional hourly-charged consultation report.
- Detailed Structural Engineering Design: $165/hr. Average new builds typically require 8-12 hours, while complex renovations may need more time due to existing conditions and finishes.
- Structural Drafting: $110/hr. The time required varies with project complexity and detailing needed to convey design intent. A typical new build might take around 20 hours. For simpler projects, structural markups are provided, potentially leading to increased involvement during the construction phase and shifting costs from planning to execution.
- Field Review: $375 for the Victoria area. This is generally mandated by municipalities for most projects to ensure construction aligns with design intent. Usually, two reviews are necessary—one for rebar placement and another for framing before structural elements are covered. The number of field reviews largely depends on contractor phasing and execution.
- Construction Phase: $145/hr, tracked in 15-minute increments. This phase involves communication and coordination during construction and is contingent on the builder's experience and unforeseen site conditions. The average project typically requires 1-3 hours during this phase.
Please note that these figures are estimates intended for budgeting and may vary based on specific project details.
