Why quotations differ
The main factors that change an Inverness survey price
Survey type
Management, refurbishment and demolition surveys require different levels of access and intrusion.
Property size
More rooms, floors, voids, plant and outbuildings increase inspection and reporting time.
Access
High-level roofs, restricted plant, occupied hotels or healthcare premises may require additional arrangements.
Samples
The number of representative samples depends on the materials encountered and survey strategy.
Programme
Urgent attendance, compressed reporting times or out-of-hours requirements can affect resource planning.
Highland mobilisation
Remote sites or multi-site programmes are priced around the actual travel and resource requirement.
Use the right cost route
Do not compare a sample price with a whole-building survey
