The Building Official may use other methods for determining valuation for unique or unusual projects. The unit costs are intended to comply with the definition of "valuation" in Section 108.3 of the 2003 International Building Code and thus inciude architectural, structural, electrical, plumbing and mechanical work, except as specifically listed below. The unit costs also include the contractor's profit, which should not be omitted. Product valuations shall be based on this table or the contract valuation, whichever is greater. The determination of plan check and permit fees for projects reviewed by the International Conference of Building Officials will be based on valuation computed from these figures, which were established in April 2002.
