When planning a technical inspection of a building, one of the most frequently asked questions is: "How much does it cost?" The price for this service can vary depending on several factors, so it is important to understand what the costs are, how long the process may take, and what nuances need to be taken into account in order to receive a quality result.
What is the price of a technical inspection of a building?
1. Type and area of the building
The larger and more complex the building, the longer it takes to inspect it and prepare the documentation. For example, a technical inspection of a private house usually costs less than an inspection of an apartment building or industrial building.
2. Scope of the survey
Is the entire building or just a specific part (e.g. roof, foundation, facade) required to be inspected? A full inspection will be more expensive, but will provide a comprehensive picture of the condition of the property.
3. Building location
Sites outside of major cities or in more remote regions may require additional travel expenses, which are included in the total price.
4. Additional examinations or testing
In some cases, additional measurements or laboratory analyses (e.g., concrete strength testing) must be performed, which increases costs.
Example:
A full technical inspection of a small private house in Riga may cost from EUR 200 to EUR 500. The inspection of an apartment building – from EUR 800 to EUR 1,500, depending on the size and complexity. Additional examinations, such as thermographic surveys or material testing, are offered as needed, and their cost is determined individually, based on the scope, complexity, and type of inspection required for the specific property. Before starting work, we prepare a detailed offer, taking into account the specifics and needs of your property.
Deadline
The turnaround time depends on the size of the building, availability, and scope of the survey ordered.
For small buildings (private houses) – 2 to 5 business days
For large buildings or complex objects – up to 10 working days
It is important to agree on a deadline with the service provider in advance, especially if the survey results are needed at a specific time (for example, before purchasing a property or starting construction).
Important nuances when choosing a technical inspection service
Certified professionals: Make sure the survey is carried out by a certified expert with experience.
Detailed opinion: Request that the final opinion include not only defects, but also recommendations for their elimination.
Transparent pricing policy: Ask for a clear breakdown of costs – what you are paying for and what is included in the price.
Additional services: Sometimes thermographic inspection or moisture measurements are also useful, which help to detect hidden problems.
The price of a building inspection depends on several factors, so always contact the service provider to receive an individual offer. Remember that a quality inspection is an investment in the safety and value of your property!
