Why Title 24 Architectural Compliance Matters

California Title 24 Energy Code (Part 6) compliance for architectural drawings is critical because violations discovered during plan review delay permits, and issues found during construction result in costly rework, change orders, and schedule delays. Catching Title 24 architectural issues during preconstruction costs 10x less than fixing them in the field (CII, 1-10-100 Rule).
