Our Pricing Philosophy: A Fair and Transparent Approach
We believe in providing a thorough, high-quality diagnostic service, and our pricing model is designed to reflect that commitment. We quote and charge based on the time required for the survey—in half-day and full-day units—not by the number of panels we examine.
This time-based approach is fairer and provides better value. A "per panel" price can encourage rushing and may not account for the complexities of a thorough inspection. Our model ensures you receive a comprehensive and diligent survey, tailored to the unique conditions of your site.
What Determines the Time On-Site?
Every site is different. The time required for a comprehensive survey is influenced by several practical factors. We work efficiently and safely to maximise our time, and we are transparent about the variables that can affect the schedule:
Site Inductions & Access: The time required for site-specific safety inductions, security clearances, and gaining access to all necessary areas is a key factor.
Equipment Complexity & Condition: Understanding complex systems, consulting with operators, referring to schematics, and safely preparing older or poorly maintained equipment for scanning requires professional diligence.
Locating Equipment: In large or complex facilities, simply locating all the switchboards and panels can take time, especially if there have been changes in staff or undocumented site modifications.
Initial Survey Documentation: We are meticulous with our documentation. An initial survey may take longer as we create a comprehensive record of your assets. We often invest extra, non-charged time during a first visit, as accurate initial documentation streamlines all future surveys and provides immense long-term value.
Travel and Specialised Jobs
Local Service Area: Our home territory is Sydney and the surrounding areas. Standard local travel time is absorbed into our quoted daily and half-day rates.
NSW & Interstate Projects: For projects in more distant areas of NSW or interstate, we will provide a clear quote that includes travel and accommodation at a reasonable cost.
Small or Non-Urgent Tasks: We understand that not every job is a full-day project. If you have a very small, non-urgent task that can be flexibly scheduled around our existing work, please contact us to discuss arranging a special minimum call-out time.
Our commitment is to provide solid, focused work as rapidly as is safely possible. By being transparent with our time-based pricing, we ensure you pay for the professional service you receive, not an arbitrary panel count.
