How the architect review works
Your free report tells you what the jurisdiction publishes for a property. The review answers what that means for your project, with an architect who lives and works in the Front Range looking at it.
$499 per property, paid when you book.
The next review day is not on the calendar yet. Book now and we email you your review day within 1 business day; if it does not suit you, we refund you in full.
The steps
- Book and pay
From your free report or snapshot, choose Book and pay. You see the next open review day and the day your report is delivered before you pay. The day is held for you while you check out. Need it sooner? Call 720-727-7279 for expedited service.
- Tell us about your project
Straight after paying, you describe what you want to do, ask up to three questions, and add any photos, survey or plans. It takes about five minutes. Send it by noon the day before your review day to keep that day.
- An architect reviews it
On your review day, an architect who lives and works in the Front Range reviews your property and your project against the jurisdiction's adopted code and published records.
- Your report arrives the next business day
What the adopted code and public records say about your project, what is likely and what still needs confirming, the few things most likely to change cost or schedule, a diagram of what fits, and the permit path.
- A 15-minute walkthrough call
We go over the report with you by phone or video and answer your questions about it. We email you to set the time when your report is delivered.
- If you go ahead, the fee carries forward
The research and site analysis carry into a permit set, so for 6 months your report fee is applied to it.
Your questions
Ask up to three questions, a sentence or two each. The review answers questions about the property and your project before design starts.
What the review answers
- What the adopted code and public records say about your project at this address, and what still needs confirming
- Setbacks, height, lot coverage, and where a building or addition can go
- Which requirements your project triggers, and at what size: fire sprinklers, energy code, engineered or stamped drawings, studies
- The permit path: what to submit, and in what order
- What is realistic here before you spend on design
What it does not answer
- Structural, civil or other engineering
- Construction cost estimates and bids
- Legal, title, easement, HOA or neighbor questions
- Anything only the jurisdiction can decide, such as a variance or an interpretation
For these, the report tells you exactly who to ask.
