Permits, pricing, contractors, and site conditions — before you start your assessment.
In most California jurisdictions, yes. An underground structure of this size typically needs a building permit, and permit records are generally public. We supply a jurisdiction-specific permit packet and can help you plan how the structure is described. Confirm requirements with your local building department before you commit.
The listed price covers engineering, PE-stamped drawings, fabrication, the systems listed for each model, delivery, and the Contractor Handoff Package. Excavation, crane service, installation labor, utility hookup, and permit fees are paid to your contractor and local agencies. Your written feasibility report includes an estimated all-in installed cost for your property.
You can use any qualified, licensed general or excavation contractor. If you don't have one, we can refer you to a vetted installer who signs an NDA before receiving your address. You contract with them directly.
Many HOAs regulate excavation and accessory structures, so review your CC&Rs before installation. Your assessment flags HOA considerations for your property.
Soil, slope, and groundwater are reviewed in your feasibility report. Some sites need additional drainage, waterproofing, or a geotechnical study, and a small number of sites aren't suitable. We'll tell you plainly if yours isn't.
Financing is available through independent third-party lenders for qualified buyers. Rates, terms, and down payment are set by the lender. Apex is not a lender and never holds your loan. Mark your financing interest on the assessment form and we'll share options after your feasibility report.
