How much will the service cost? NMRCA State Affiliates will be expected to
share some of the cost for the design service which could be several hundred dollars per project.
Each affiliate should determine their process for quoting to end users and how they will manage their costs (likely to vary by afiliate)

application form and providing all the necessary information and files requested in the submittal checklist.
