15K-20K for structural engineer for 2 story ADU in Los Angeles?!
An architect told me that the structural engineer services for building a 1000 sq ft 2 story ADU in Los Angeles would be $15K-20K. Does that seal reasonable?
My lot is flat and 'unremarkable', btw.

my structural engineer charges $750 per plan review and I have an offshore architect and drafter. I'd get 5+ quotes that's crazy even in cali for an engineer.
Your engineer is "rubber stamping'. Not legal in most states for PEs and RAs.
What even is an "offshore Architect". Meaning they are an Architect elsewhere?
