Pricing Factors
Every project is unique. These factors may increase or decrease your final fee.
Larger homes and two-story structures require more engineering analysis and documentation. Two-story homes typically add 20-30% to structural fees.
Complex rooflines, high ceilings (12'+), large open spans, and unique structural conditions require additional engineering analysis.
Projects in FEMA flood zones or Harris County Flood Control regulated areas require additional analysis and documentation.
Standard turnaround is 5-10 business days. Rush/expedited delivery (2-3 days) is available for an additional fee. Contact us to discuss your timeline.
Complete, well-organized submittals help keep costs down. Incomplete or unclear drawings may require additional review time and fees.
Different jurisdictions have different requirements. City of Houston, Harris County, and surrounding municipalities each have their own standards.
