Pricing guide
The total cost usually reflects a call‑out component plus time on site and any materials or report preparation. Multi-stage programs, larger strata or forensic dilapidation reports are typically more expensive because they require repeated visits, extra coordination and higher documentation standards. Urgent timing, after‑hours attendance or complex site access and OH&S requirements can also increase the final quote.
Number of site visits or stages
Multi-stage inspections involve cumulative on-site time and typically cost more than a single visit.
Report complexity and documentation
Dilapidation and forensic baseline reports usually require extended photo sets, mapping and higher documentation standards.
Property size and type
Larger strata or commercial properties often need extra access coordination and common-area review, which increases scope.
Need for specialist testing or hires
Specialist sampling or invasive testing is generally out-of-scope and would usually be quoted separately if required.
Site access and OH&S requirements
Builder/site OH&S rules, rooftop or lift access and difficult site conditions can add time and coordination to the inspection.
