Title 24 reports for Rancho Cucamonga permits.
Rancho Cucamonga runs plan check entirely digital, through its EDR (Electronic Document Review) system — here’s what that means for the Title 24 documentation in your submittal.
Digital-only submittal through EDR
Rancho Cucamonga’s Building and Safety Services Department reviews plans exclusively through its EDR (Electronic Document Review) system, run via the city’s Online Permit Center — the city states plainly that paper plan submittals aren’t accepted, and permits are issued by email only. Once a project is submitted, the city’s own guide cites roughly 10–15 working days for the first review (the Building & Safety page separately cites 10 business days initial / 5 business days for resubmittals). The city’s own submittal guide lists “T24 energy calculations” as an example document — the CF1R goes in under the “Documents/Reports” upload type alongside structural and truss calcs, separate from the “Plans/Drawings” set.
Plans have to go in as a single, correctly scaled, vector-preferred PDF (color plans and individually uploaded sheets are rejected) with the designer’s seal on every sheet. A new detached ADU in Rancho Cucamonga is flagged in the city’s own ADU Handbook as possibly needing solar under Title 24 — consistent with the statewide rule (see does my ADU need solar), not a local add-on. No local energy reach code beyond state CALGreen/Title 24 minimums was found on the city’s own code pages.
One thing that doesn’t change by city: my price and turnaround are flat statewide — $99 first report, $150 flat after, 24–48 hours on your first job. What differs city to city is what happens on the plan-check side before and after the CF1R lands in your permit set, which is what this page covers.
Nearby, same flat rate: Ontario, Upland & Chino, Fontana and Pomona.
Prices
Flat fees, in writing before I start. No hourly, no bid package, no change-order games — the number on the quote is the number on the invoice.
One honest note
I’m not a licensed engineer or architect, and I don’t stamp drawings. On the CF1R I’m the documentation author — you stay the responsible designer. Nothing about your role on the job changes.
That’s on purpose. I’m not after your scope or your clients. I do one piece of the permit set — the piece that usually holds it up — and I do it fast.
Rancho Cucamonga plan-check questions
If yours isn’t here, see the full FAQ or call and ask.
Does Rancho Cucamonga accept paper plan submittals?
Is the CF1R a separate upload in Rancho Cucamonga's portal?
Does my ADU or addition actually need one?
Almost certainly. New conditioned floor area — ADUs, JADUs, garage conversions, additions — triggers Title 24. So do alterations that touch the envelope, the ductwork, or the HVAC equipment, including a straight change-out. A remodel that only moves non-structural interior partitions usually doesn’t.
Send it either way. If it doesn’t need a report I’ll say so and there’s no charge for the look.
How fast do I get it back?
24 to 48 hours on your first job, three business days for everything after that — a date you can put on the schedule, not an estimate. If your permit deadline is tighter than that, say so in the notes; I’ll tell you honestly whether I can hit it before you commit.
