If special handling is required, such as rush reviews or a preliminary review, they will be charged at the hourly rate plus the applicable fee. Second reviews are included—no extra charge. Additional third or more reviews, and when hourly rates are applicable, are charged at the hourly rate of $100.00/hour. If a completely new design set of plans is submitted for a specific address after previous design plan has been reviewed, a new plan review fee will be charged. If any plan has to be sent to an outside consultant other than the inspection firm, the outside consultant's fee(s) will be charged and that fee paid directly to the outside consultant.
