03 / BUDGET

San Ramon permit fees

San Ramon publishes a FY 2026/27 Fee Resolution Schedule. Permit valuation may be adjusted by the Building Official, and building, plan-review, and applicable trade charges depend on scope. Use the current schedule and confirm your project’s full fee assessment with the Permit Center.

Official fee schedule and payment guidance

Listed fees and examples are not a project-specific quote. Confirm current amounts and applicability with the city before payment.

04 / PLAN YOUR KITCHEN

Before you choose finishes

  • Start with the city’s kitchen alteration handout when organizing project documents.
  • Check island, appliance, and utility changes together before cabinet ordering.
  • Build inspection milestones into the schedule rather than treating them as an afterthought.

PLANNING IN SAN RAMON

A clear plan for islands, appliances, and light.

For San Ramon, use the kitchen alteration handout to organize the drawings, then coordinate utility changes and inspections with cabinet ordering.

Kitchen drawings

Start with the city’s kitchen alteration handout when organizing project documents.

Island and utilities

Check island, appliance, and utility changes together before cabinet ordering.

Inspection milestones

Build inspection milestones into the schedule rather than treating them as an afterthought.

HOME TYPES & SITE PLANNING IN SAN RAMON

Give the island room to work.

Planning considerations for these home types. Your address, building history, and site inspection determine what applies.

Two-story tract homes

Check appliance clearances and the route between the kitchen and family room. Review upstairs constraints before rerouting a hood.

Single-story homes

Test island and seating dimensions against actual circulation space before removing a partition or moving fixtures.

A scope to discuss at your San Ramon site review

An island and lighting redesign: include existing and proposed layouts and review structural calculations when a bearing wall changes.

Planning example, not a completed local client project. Ask the project team for available completed-project references relevant to your scope.

CABINETS, MATERIALS & SCHEDULING

Specify the cabinets.
Then set the start.

The cabinet schedule records the manufacturer, line, construction, finish, dimensions, accessories, and supplier-confirmed delivery date.

Stock cabinetry

Check available sizes, filler requirements, finish availability, and whether every piece is in stock before demolition.

Semi-custom cabinetry

Confirm size options, finished panels, storage inserts, shop-drawing approval, and the supplier’s current production slot.

Custom cabinetry

Approve measured drawings, finish samples, appliance integration, and fabrication details before release. Delivery depends on the selected shop.

Brand and cabinet-line selection is project-specific. Lead times are confirmed in writing with the supplier rather than promised as a universal delivery window.

  1. Before construction

    Measure → approve layout and selections → obtain required permits → confirm cabinet delivery.

  2. Early construction

    Protect the home, demolish the agreed scope, complete rough trades, and pass required rough inspections.

  3. Installation

    Install cabinetry, measure and fabricate countertops, then coordinate backsplash, appliances, and final trade work.

  4. Completion

    Complete final inspections, review the punch list, and hand over agreed documentation.

Planning windows after approvals and materials: 5–7 weeks for a same-layout remodel and 8–14 weeks for structural or utility changes. Actual milestones follow the agreed scope and inspection availability.

BEFORE YOU REQUEST A VISIT

Your San Ramon remodel, clearly planned.

Scope, scheduling, and permits come before the final price.

Cost

Preliminary Bay Area ranges: $25,000–$45,000 for a cosmetic refresh; $50,000–$90,000 for a same-layout remodel; $90,000–$180,000+ for layout changes and premium custom work. Size, materials, utilities, and existing conditions change the estimate.

These are planning ranges, not quotes. Design, appliances, permits, and the included work are itemized after the site review.

Duration

Allow about 5–7 weeks of construction for a same-layout kitchen after materials arrive and permits are ready, or 8–14 weeks for a layout-changing remodel. Cabinet lead times, design, and permit processing come before that construction window.

Permits

San Ramon publishes a kitchen alteration handout and an online remodel permit process. Review the required drawings, trade work, and inspections with Building and Safety before construction.

See San Ramon requirements and fees

Can the layout stay?

Yes, subject to the existing conditions and appliance fit. A same-layout remodel can replace cabinetry and surfaces while keeping the main footprint. Wiring, plumbing, ventilation, and permits still need review. Wall removal and relocated utilities are separate scope decisions.
