Pricing guide
Cost is driven by the callout fee plus time on site and any after-hours attendance, with after-hours rates typically 1.5–2.0x higher. Compliance or real‑estate inspections usually add time for reporting, photographs and certification (commonly 20–30% higher), while hazardous or remedial situations typically require extra diagnostic time and a contingency uplift and may lead to separate remedial or access‑hire costs.
Callout fee and labour time
A fixed callout plus the number of hours on site determine the basic charge for an inspection.
Inspection scope and reporting level
Standard visual checks are quicker, while compliance or real‑estate inspections usually need more time for detailed reports, photos and certification.
Hazardous findings and diagnostics
Discovering heavy creosote, animal carcasses or structural defects typically requires additional diagnostic time and a contingency uplift.
Need for remedial work or containment
Remedial cleaning, containment or repair work is usually excluded from the inspection and would be quoted separately if required.
Access and specialist hire requirements
If specialist access (scaffolding or EWP) is needed, that hire is generally billed separately and increases overall scope.
