Adding it All Up

As you can see, even a simple, small structure in good condition would require at least 3 hours of an inspector's time. Allowing an hour for an assistant and you would expect to pay well over $200 with no allowance for travel, meetings or review by senior staff.

Since only a small percentage of structures fall into this category, you could expect an average cost substantially higher. The following are typical of an inventory of 50 structures or more:

Weighted Average Age of Network* Average Insp. $ / Structure
< 30 years 320
30 - 39 years 380
40 - 49 years 500
50 years and over >750

* Age weighted proportionate to replacement value.
