Title 24 field verification in Orinda
Orinda’s residential work commonly includes equipment replacements, heat-pump conversions, additions, remodels and ADUs in existing homes. Because projects may involve both City planning and County building review, having the permit and energy documents ready helps avoid guessing about the required verification.
Orinda permits and project documents
Orinda requires City Planning review for many projects, but the City does not operate its own building department. Contra Costa County reviews and issues building permits and provides building inspection services after applicable local approvals. For our field-verification visit, send the project address, CF1R or available energy compliance documents, permit year and HVAC equipment information.
Planning the field visit
We support applicable verification for HVAC replacements, heat-pump installations, ADUs, remodels, additions and other residential projects when field verification is specified. Service is also available in Lafayette, Moraga, Walnut Creek and Berkeley. Confirming the required measures before the appointment helps avoid unnecessary testing and return trips.
Having the project address, permit year, CF1R or other compliance documents, and installed equipment information available before scheduling helps confirm the correct verification scope. If the project documents call for multiple measures, those can be coordinated for the same site visit when practical.
Does Orinda issue its own building permits?
No. Orinda handles applicable planning review, while Contra Costa County issues building permits and provides building inspection services.
Should I schedule testing before sending the CF1R?
It is better to send the CF1R and permit information first so the required field-verification measures can be confirmed.
What should I send before scheduling in Orinda?
