Costs for Filing New Construction Plans


Hi we are in the process of filing plans for a new construction project – single family home.

We have an architect and expediter but would like to know a rough idea of what our costs will be.
This is so we can judge the validity of what we are being told/charged from our vendors.

Approval Process for Single Family Home


We are int eh process of designing a single family home to be built on an undeveloped lot. Our home will contain radically sustainable features – water collection for drinking/shower, solar for electricity and heating etc. We have initial plans drawn. Wondering now what is the approval process? We submit plans to Dept of Buildings? Who else?

Should we wait till plans are complete or is there a way to show DOB plans ahead of time to see if they have any objections?
