What is “Title 24” anyway?

Title 24 is a series of requirements published within the California Energy Code that details the minimum efficiency standards for all new buildings in California.

Technically the term “Title 24” refers to all of the volumes of California State Building Codes published by the California Building Standards Commission.

At Design Everest we have decades of experience in the design and construction of commercial buildings throughout the State of California. This detailed knowledge of construction costs allows us to select the most cost-effective trade-offs for your project.

CALGreen is part 11 of the California building energy efficiency standards known as Title 24. CALGreen’s base level aim attempts to reduce the environmental impact of construction through site slope preservation, drainage mitigation, and careful planning to mitigate any negative effects on neighboring areas. Compliance is two-tiered: To achieve CALGreen Tier 1, buildings must comply with the latest edition of “Savings By Design, Healthcare Modeling Procedures.” A second tier provides a higher degree of sustainability by requiring buildings to exceed the most current edition of “Savings by Design Modeling Procedures” by a measure of 15% of higher, according to the International Code Council. Design Everest provides full project management services to ensure compliance under CALGreen.

Coronavirus Measures

Design Everest is OPEN! We work remotely and are fully committed to taking on and delivering projects.

We are here to support your plans

Design Everest’s remote working model can safely take-up and deliver your projects within the current government guidelines on COVID-19 (a.k.a Coronavirus). This applies to many of our project scopes, including architecture, civil engineering, structural engineering, and construction administration across California.
How we are still able to support you safely?

Design Everest is set up to remotely leverage digital platforms (virtual meetings, calls, emails etc.) in client-facing and internal operations. Over the years, we have advanced this ability to the extent that we can continue supporting new and existing clients across many of our projects. Even projects that need an on-site visit can be fulfilled safely via video calls or in-person visits, where permitted.

Note that the present government guidelines permit the delivery of essential services, including those related to construction.
Are we still able to service projects across California?

YES, Design Everest's remote working model enables us to work safely with all clients, suppliers, industry partners, and internal staff as per government guidelines.
Are we limited to certain types of projects due to COVID-19 (Coronavirus)?

Design Everest can still support many of our types of projects (new or ongoing) safely. For example, new custom homes, accessory dwelling units, civil plans etc. We are committed to delivering these remotely and safely as per the current government guidelines. In case of any external dependency that is unavoidable/unavailable, your assigned Custom Success Manager or Project Manager will keep you posted on it and try their best to keep your plans in-progress.
Will ongoing or recently-contracted projects go ahead?

YES, our remote working model enables us to be fully committed to ongoing projects. In case of any external dependency that is unavoidable, unavailable or unsafe, your assigned Custom Success Manager or Project Manager will keep you updated and try their best to keep your plans in-progress. If an on-site visit is not feasible via a video call, we will try our best to fulfill the visit safely, where permitted.

Some of our clients are already going ahead with their projects with us via video calls or virtual meetings. Your assigned Customer Success Manager or Project Manager is happy to help you with this, where needed.
Why should you proceed with projects now?

There are multiple reasons for this. It's typical to plan the construction step in the summer. So, clients get started on the pre-construction steps (architecture, engineering, and construction admin) in winter or spring to stick to planned timelines.

Projects such as Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Additions/Remodels enable clients to rent/resale and generate revenue. Meanwhile, many clients are concerned about protecting their families and businesses against earthquakes by retrofitting their homes and buildings. These are just a few of the various reasons why it’s still reasonable for clients to stick to their construction plans.
Have Questions?

Feel free to phone us at (888) 311-3015 Alternatively, you may contact your assigned Custom Success Manager or Project Manager directly via phone, email or virtual meetings.

To summarize, Design Everest is OPEN and able to serve new and existing clients, affiliates, suppliers, and industry partners.

Stay safe and rest assured that Design Everest can help you go ahead with your plans as per the recommended safety guidelines!
