Depends on the type of service the client is booking: Infrared Inspection (includes air leakage, insulation performance) starts at $322 + HST Moisture related issues are by the hour, $277 + HST for the first hour and $177 + HST for each additional hour. Electrical Surveys are a flat rate of $695 + HST for up to 4 hours of work, including a detailed report. This price point will be changing soon to be more flexible. Flat/Low-Sloped Roof Surveys are as follows (this is not published - clients call in for quote): Under 20,000 sq. ft.: 5cents/sq.ft. or $750 min. 20,000 - 49,999 sq. ft.: 4cents/sq.ft. or $1500 min. 50,000 - 200,000 sq. ft.: 3cents/sq.ft. or $2000 min. HST is added afterward to all prices. FYI: HST is our tax in Canada for those of your who don't know.
