FAQ
Questions about our services
What each SENERGY360 service costs, what it covers, and how to start. Every service is guided by the 12 CORE Principles for Healthy Building Design.
CORE360 Strategy Session
About this serviceHow much does a building biology consultation cost?
A CORE360 Strategy Session is $500 for a one-hour session with Brian Johnson plus a written CORE Strategy Summary. The fee is credited toward Design-to-Build, CORE360 Design Specifications, or a Healthy Home Inspection if you sign within 30 days.
What happens in a Strategy Session?
You complete a short questionnaire first. Then you meet with Brian for one hour by video or phone. Within 7 business days you receive a written CORE Strategy Summary with a next-step recommendation.
Is the free 30-minute call different?
Yes. The free call is where we explain the services and find the right fit. The Strategy Session is a working session on your home or project, with a written summary.
Can you help if my project is already in design or construction?
Yes, with a review and written findings. We do not take over solving another team’s design or build problems.
SENERGY360 Design-to-Build
About this serviceHow much does a healthy home design cost?
SENERGY360 Design-to-Build starts at $34 per square foot as a fixed design fee, with a $50,000 minimum. Your exact fee is set in a custom proposal after a free 30-minute call.
Is the fee a percentage of construction?
No. Our design fee is fixed, so it does not rise with your construction budget. Most architects charge 8% to 15% of construction cost.
Do you work with my builder?
Yes. Your builder receives the Builder Hand-off Package: complete drawings, Healthy Design Specifications, the CORE360 Project Cost estimate, and a final coordination review. For help during construction, CORE360 Owner’s Representation keeps the build true to the design.
Do you handle permits?
Your builder handles permitting and construction, using the construction documents the SENERGY360 architectural team delivers. In Arizona, where SENERGY360 is a licensed general contractor (ROC 341823), we can also build your home by custom proposal.
CORE360 Healthy Home Design Specifications
About this serviceHow much do healthy home design specifications cost?
CORE360 Healthy Home Design Specifications & Building Systems Integration starts at $12 per square foot as a fixed fee, with a $15,000 minimum. Your exact fee is set in a custom proposal after a free 30-minute call.
Do you replace my architect?
No. We work alongside your architect, engineers, and builder. We set the healthy-building requirements, write the specifications, and coordinate the systems; your team keeps leading the design.
Who handles permits?
Your architect and builder handle drawings, permitting, and construction, as they normally would. We deliver the specifications, the integration review, and the construction verification checklist they work from.
What if construction has already started?
Start with a CORE360 Strategy Session. We review where the project stands and recommend next steps, but we do not take over another team’s design.
Healthy Home Inspections
About this serviceHow much does a healthy home inspection cost?
A SENERGY360 Healthy Home Inspection starts at $5,000. The final price depends on the size of the home and the scope of testing, and we confirm it after a free 30-minute call.
What do you test?
We evaluate the whole home as one system: the building enclosure and moisture, heating, cooling, ventilation, filtration and humidity, indoor air quality and pollutant sources, building materials and finishes, plumbing and water quality, and electrical and EMF conditions. For mold, we work with Indoor Environmental Professionals and mold professionals.
What do I receive?
You receive a Healthy Home Inspection Blueprint: a prioritized written report of what we found, why it happened, and the specific steps to resolve it. See a sample report.
Can I start with something smaller?
Yes. A $500 CORE360 Strategy Session gives you an hour with Brian Johnson and a written CORE Strategy Summary, and the fee is credited toward your inspection if you sign within 30 days.
