Getting a quotation
If you give us a call, we can provide you with a quote based on the size of your property and the kind of building inspection you require. A typical pre-purchase inspection will examine the property's structural soundness and any significant and minor flaws.
Some homes require more time to clean than others, so we will ask you a few questions during the call regarding the condition and size of the house to determine how long it will take and how much it will cost. An inspection typically lasts 1.5 to 2 hours.
