How Much Does a COMcheck Report Cost?
How Much Does a COMcheck Report Cost?
We get that question a lot.
A COMcheck report for a simple commercial building runs $139 to $479, priced instantly based on square footage — no waiting on a callback. Larger buildings, or anything more complex than a single standalone building with one HVAC system and one lighting zone, need a custom quote instead, since complexity drives cost more than size alone. Here's exactly how the pricing breaks down.
Instant Pricing for Simple Commercial Buildings
If your project is a single standalone building, one or two stories, with one HVAC/mechanical system and one lighting zone or tenant space, it qualifies for instant pricing. No back-and-forth required — just tell me the square footage. So the answer to the question: How much does a COMcheck Report cost?
Building Size | Instant Price |
Up to 3,000 sq ft | $139 |
3,001-6,000 sq ft | $189 |
6,001-9,000 sq ft | $279 |
9,001-12,000 sq ft | $379 |
12,001-15,000 sq ft | $479 |
Projects over 15,000 square feet need a custom quote regardless of how simple the building otherwise is.
When You'll Need a Custom Quote Instead
Square footage alone doesn't determine cost. A few things push a project out of instant pricing and into a custom quote, because they add real complexity to the report itself, not just its size:
Multi-story buildings (3 or more floors)
Apartments, condos, hotels, or any multi-unit residential building
Mixed-use buildings (residential plus commercial, or multiple tenant types)
Multiple HVAC systems or multiple lighting zones within the same building
Tenant build-outs or shell-and-core projects
Anything requiring separate mechanical, lighting, and envelope reports as distinct deliverables
None of that means your project is a problem — it just means I need a few more details before I can give you an accurate number, instead of guessing with a per-square-foot price that wouldn't hold up once I actually looked at the specs.
Why Does COMcheck Pricing Vary So Much?
COMcheck compliance breaks down into three categories: envelope, mechanical, and lighting. A small lighting retrofit only touches one of those. A ground-up commercial building usually needs all three. A tenant build-out might need a combination that's different from the unit next door. That variation is exactly why a single flat price across every commercial project doesn't hold up, and why the instant tiers above are scoped specifically to simple, single-system buildings where that variation isn't a factor.
What's Included in the Price
Every COMcheck report I prepare, whether it's priced instantly or by custom quote, is reviewed by a RESNET-certified HERS rater — not just run through the software and handed back. You're getting a permit-ready report checked against whatever commercial energy code your project's state and local jurisdiction have actually adopted, and most orders go back out within hours.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does my project automatically qualify for instant pricing?
It qualifies if it's one standalone building, one or two stories, with a single HVAC/mechanical system and a single lighting zone or tenant space, at or under 15,000 square feet. If your project doesn't fit that description, you'll get a custom quote instead.
What if my project is over 15,000 square feet?
It needs a custom quote. Reach out with the project details and I'll get you a number.
Does the price include a Manual J?
No, Manual J is priced and ordered separately with its own flat rate. If your project needs both, mention that when you reach out and I'll make sure both are accounted for.
How fast will I get my report?
Most COMcheck orders go back out within 2 business days, whether they're priced instantly or by custom quote.
