What Affects the Price
Project size & complexity
A single beam letter costs far less than a full addition plan set with framing, foundation, and lateral design.
Site visit required
Inspections and forensic work need an on-site visit; many plan reviews and beam calcs can be done from photos and drawings.
Permit office requirements
Some Georgia jurisdictions require extra details, calculations, or sealed letters before they issue a permit.
Turnaround time
Rush delivery for closings, insurance deadlines, or stalled permits can add to the fee.
