Terms and Conditions

This site is informational

This website is an independent guide. It does not offer to perform construction work, it is not an advertisement for contracting services, and no contract of any kind is formed by using it.

Cost figures are planning ranges

Every dollar figure on this site, including every figure produced by the calculators, is a planning range for the Bakersfield market. None of them is a quotation, an offer, or a commitment by anyone to perform work at that price. A quotation can only come from a licensed contractor who has seen the property.

Code and permit information is general

Code, permit and Title 24 statements on this site are general guidance drawn from published documents and are not a determination for any particular property. The City of Bakersfield Building Division and Kern County Public Works are the authorities having jurisdiction, and what they decide governs. Codes are amended; check the current position before relying on anything here.

No permit fees are published

This site deliberately publishes no permit fee amounts, because no current schedule for this work could be verified. Contact the relevant department for the figure that applies today.

Photographs

Photographs on this site are licensed stock images used to illustrate the type of structure under discussion. They are not presented as projects located in Bakersfield or Kern County and no claim is made about who built them.

Limitation

This site is provided as it is, without warranty. Decisions about construction, budget or contracting are yours, and are properly made with a licensed contractor and the relevant building department.
