Homeowner FAQs
How much do structural/civil engineering services cost?
Each project is unique, so we take the time to carefully predict the amount of hours your project will take, and provide you with a project-specific estimate for our services. Depending on your preference, we can provide our services on an hourly fee or fixed fee basis.
How long does the design process take?
Project timeframes can vary widely and are subject to many external factors. The major factors involved in determining the timeline for design of a project are the size of project and the involvement of other design professionals. When involved, we usually need the survey and geotechnical study to be complete and the architect to be well into design before we can begin. We will do our best to work with your schedule and meet your needs. After design is complete, you will likely need to permit your project through the local building department. CG can assist you with that as well.
What happens if we want to make changes to our plans after you've begun construction documents?
Changes that affect work we have already done can result in additional fees. We will evaluate the impact of the proposed change and let you know about additional fees in advance.
How long does it take to get a permit?
Every jurisdiction will have a different timeline for processing permits. We find that a typical time frame is three to six weeks, but it can be highly dependent on the current workload of the permitting department in your jurisdiction at the time of the project. Some counties, such as King County, will take much longer. Our engineers are experienced with most local jurisdictions and can advise you on typical time frames for permitting your project at the time it starts.
