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.
