Pricing guide
Price is typically driven by how many stages and site visits are required and the level of reporting you request. Site access, whether plans are available, timing (including after‑hours) and travel or callout charges can also affect the final cost.
Number of stages and visits
Single-stage inspections are usually quicker, while multi-stage packages account for multiple scheduled visits and cumulative time.
Report detail and format
Short-form stage reports with a few photos typically take less time than more detailed or consolidated reports covering multiple stages.
Site access and safety
Safe, unobstructed access usually keeps inspections straightforward; restricted or unsafe access can increase time and complexity.
Plans and documentation availability
Having plans and stage schedules available can simplify assessment and may reduce time spent on-site and in administration.
Timing and scheduling requirements
After-hours attendance, tight scheduling or repeated missed appointments can add to the overall cost or require re‑scheduling.
