Pricing guide
Costs are driven mainly by how detailed the inspection is and the formality of the report required. A ground‑level visual check with a short written summary is typically less complex than a council/DA report that needs calculations, annotated plans and substantial office time. Specialist diagnostics, difficult access and after‑hours attendance can also increase the overall scope.
Inspection depth and methods
Ground‑level visual checks are usually simpler than work requiring climbing or specialist diagnostic methods.
Report type and formality
Short health‑check reports are generally quicker, while council/DA reports with TPZ/SRZ calculations and method statements demand much more detailed deliverables.
Office time and mapping required
Higher‑quality mapping, annotated plans and extensive report writing increase post‑inspection office time and overall scope.
Specialist testing and diagnostics
Resistograph, tomography or other specialist tests are typically excluded from basic profiles and would be quoted separately if needed.
Access, reachability and timing
Difficult site access, the need to climb trees or after‑hours attendance typically increases time on site and the overall scope.
