CHEERS-Registered Title 24 Documentation Author

California's Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards require energy compliance documentation (CF1R) for permit submittal on virtually every residential project. We are a CHEERS-Registered Documentation Author producing CF1Rs through EnergyPro for ADUs, additions, custom homes, and major remodels — registered and ready for plan-check on the first review.

Detached ADUs, attached ADUs, and JADUs across all California climate zones — including ADU-specific exemptions and common rejection patterns.

Home additions of any size with proper "alteration" scoping, partial compliance, and existing-home interaction handled correctly.

Ground-up new construction with strategic performance vs. prescriptive path selection optimized for your climate zone and budget.

Kitchen, bathroom, and whole-house remodels — clear analysis of when Title 24 IS triggered (it often surprises homeowners).

Why Choose 9Builders for CF1R

Most CF1R consultants are slow, opaque about pricing, and won't commit to turnaround. We do all three — and we know plan-check across every California jurisdiction.

Title 24 & CF1R FAQs

Yes, in nearly all cases. California Title 24 requires CF1R energy compliance documentation for ADUs, additions, new construction, and major remodels. Even minor remodels can trigger Title 24 if they touch lighting, water heating, HVAC, or insulation. When in doubt, ask us — we'll tell you whether your project needs CF1R.
Most projects complete in 2-3 business days from when we receive your plans and project details. Complex custom homes may take 4-5 days. Rush turnaround (next-day) available for an additional fee.
For most projects: floor plans, elevations, and sections. For new construction: also site plan and Title 24 mandatory measures form. Mechanical/electrical/plumbing schedules help but aren't required upfront — we work from architectural plans plus a quick project questionnaire.
Yes. We are a CHEERS-Registered Documentation Author. CHEERS is one of two California-approved HERS providers (the other is CalCERTS). Our CF1Rs are valid for permit submittal in any California jurisdiction.
One revision cycle is included free with every CF1R. If your city requests changes, send us the correction notice and we'll revise and re-register. Most CF1Rs pass plan-check on the first submittal because we know the common rejection patterns.
CF1R is the design-phase document we produce. CF2R is signed by your installer (HVAC contractor, electrician). CF3R is the post-construction field verification, which requires a separate HERS Rater certification — we coordinate with HERS Raters but don't perform CF3R ourselves.
Yes — CF1R is statewide. We serve all 16 California climate zones from the Bay Area. Plans are delivered digitally; no in-person visit required for CF1R production.

Tommy, Yuna, and their entire team were amazing from start to finish. We hired them for a big project that included foundation work, a structural retrofit, replacing the PGE main service line, and installing a new 200-amp panel. It was a pretty major job, and honestly, we couldn't have asked for a better crew to handle it. Everyone was professional, polite, and knew exactly what they were doing. They showed up on time, cleaned up every day, and were super respectful of our space.

I hired 9Builders to work on my backyard and they did an amazing job. They built a nice structure that looks really great and added so much to my yard. The team was friendly and kept everything clean while they worked. The work was done quick and looked really good. Now they're working on the front of my house to add an extension, and I'm impressed how fast they worked. They finished the foundation in just two days...
