Haw. Code R. § 11-216-15.5 - Review fees

(a) The review fee for construction documents filed with the board on or after January 1, 2013 shall be four-tenths of one percent for the first $500,000 of the estimated construction cost plus two-tenths of one percent of the estimated construction costs greater than $500,000 up to and including $2,000,000 plus two one-hundredths of one percent of the estimated construction costs over $2,000,000 except as follows:

(1) The minimum review fee for construction documents subject to accessibility guidelines under section 103-50, HRS shall be $200;

(2) The disability and communication access board may limit the maximum review fee for construction documents of infrastructure projects or projects managed by private nonprofit entities to $3,000; and

(3) There shall be a $50 review fee for projects with constructions documents that do not reflect any elements subject to accessibility guidelines under section 103-50, HRS.

(b) For purposes of determining the review fee, the estimated construction cost shall be the cost for all work included in the construction documents that is covered under section 103-50/ HRS. The Facility Access Unit shall reply in writing confirming receipt of the construction documents and review fee, appropriateness of the review fee, and acceptance of the construction documents for review.

(c) No additional review fee shall be charged upon resubmission of the construction documents, unless the resubmission requires substantial review for accessibility. If the original construction documents are abandoned and the construction documents submitted in lieu thereof are in fact for a new project rather than an identical project, or where a modified set of construction documents is for an essentially different concept, a new review fee shall be paid. This is regardless of the fact that the project may have the same name, be of the same general size, and be situated at the same location as the project for which the original application was made.

(d) If the applicant requests the cancellation or withdrawal of the submission and return of the construction documents and review fee, this shall be granted unless the review fee has been processed by the disability and communication access board. No portion of the review fee can be returned after the review fee has been processed by the disability and communication access board.
