Short answer: A Title 24 report from Title24Comply usually takes 2–3 business days from the time we receive your complete project documents. If you need it sooner, 24-hour rush and same-day Super Rush options are available. Building department plan check is a separate step with its own timeline.
Standard turnaround for a Title 24 energy compliance report at Title24Comply is 2–3 business days from the time we receive your complete project documents. That time covers energy modeling, compliance verification, registry registration where required, and delivery of your finalized PDF report.

What Happens During Those 2–3 Business Days
After you order, we review your plans, build the energy model in CEC-approved compliance software, check the design against the current code for your climate zone, register the report with CHEERS if the project requires it, and email you the permit-ready PDF. If the design does not comply as drawn, we contact you with practical options before finishing. Each stage is explained in what happens after you order, and the modeling itself in Title 24 calculations.
Business days exclude weekends and holidays, so an order placed on a Friday afternoon is typically delivered early the following week at standard speed.
What Can Delay a Title 24 Report?
Incomplete documents
This is the most common cause. If key information is missing — no window schedule, no insulation notes, no HVAC type — we contact you before we can start, and the turnaround begins once we have what we need. Check what documents to upload before ordering.
Project complexity
Larger multifamily buildings with complex HVAC zoning take longer to model than a simple ADU.
Designs that need changes to comply
If the design does not pass as drawn, time spent agreeing on changes — for example, better windows or a different water heater — adds to the timeline.
Peak demand
Order volume rises during busy permit seasons, which can affect standard turnaround.
How to Get the Fastest Turnaround
Upload complete plans at checkout, specify your HVAC type and intended insulation in the order notes, and include your full project address. The more complete your submission, the faster we can deliver.
Revisions and Plan Check Timing
Two revisions are included with every report. If the plans change or the plan checker asks for corrections, send us the updated sheets or the comment letter and we revise and re-issue the report. Revision time depends on the size of the change. See plan check comments and what happens when plans change.
Plan check itself is controlled by your building department, not by us. Review times vary by city and county and by how busy the department is, so check with your jurisdiction when you plan your schedule. A fast Title 24 report removes one step from the critical path; it does not change the department's review time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a Title 24 report take?
Typically 2–3 business days after we receive complete plans. 24-hour rush and same-day Super Rush are available.
When does the turnaround clock start?
When we have complete project documents. If something is missing, we contact you, and the turnaround runs from when the missing information arrives.
How long do revisions take?
It depends on the change. A small plan check correction is usually quicker than the original report; a redesign that changes the energy model takes longer.
Does a rush report speed up my permit?
It speeds up the report only. Plan check and permit issuance follow your building department's schedule.
