Hi, Dominic-

I do my pricing by building type, # of bedrooms and # of baths.  I've never shopped my competition, so I'm not sure about averages.  My sense is that my pricing is probably a little high, around the 75th percentile.

condos 229-299
($80 extra for readily accessible common elements)
sfh  329-549
two flats 450
three flats 550

What I've posted below is a little lower than what I usually charge.  Did a 959 Sq. ft. ranch today for 329, which is a little low for me.  So that one worked out to 34.3 cents/sq. ft.

OK.  Maybe this can help...

1. What state are you in:  Illinois

2. Looking at the AVERAGE price per inspector in your area, what is their price per square foot:

Minimum Charge $200

Up to 900 Sq. ft.    at 30 cents/sq.ft.

1230-1800  at 22 cents/sq.ft.

2200 to 2800 at 18 cents/sq.ft.

3360-4000 at 15 cents/sq.ft.

above 4600 at 13 cents/sq.ft.

3. How much extra for a crawlspace:  Accessible crawlspace no extra charge

4. How much extra for a pool:  Service not available

5. How much extra for a radon inspection: $200, subcontracted

6. How much extra for a termite inspection: Service not available

7. How far are you willing to drive before charging extra:  40 Miles

8. How much would you charge to drive outside that range:  $30 flat rate

FYI

Here in Calif. There are a couple types of services we could do. Some banks want simple drive by visual inspections. They want to know if the property is occupied and what condition it is in. Take  time date stamped  pictures of the exterior and that’s it. Don’t know what they would be willing to pay for the service.

Other property management companies request estimates on the get ready to market cost. That “other” inspection software has some sort of application for estimating cost, Dominic could look into that.

Here in Calif. It is against the law to estimate what you inspect so not sure how to approach that. I would think the property management co’s would want to negotiate a volume deal don’t you Huh


You're not performing an inspection for a home buyer, you're doing an inspection for an assessment company that works for the bank, so the normal rules don't apply.

These are full home inspections. The target price range is $250-$600 depending on all the variables we're working on.

Guys, please list the price PER SQUARE FOOT. If you know you charge $400 for up to 3300 square feet then divide 440/3300 = 13.3 cents per square foot. This will vary greatly across the country due to housing prices, cost of living, licensing fee's, etc.

Why 440/3300 instead of 400/3300 ?

1. What state are you in: ILLINOIS
2. Looking at the AVERAGE price per inspector in your area, what is their price per square foot:  I'd have to say 15 - 25 cents per sq ft.
3. How much extra for a crawlspace: No extra charge
4. How much extra for a pool: Not typically part of IL inspection-
5. How much extra for a radon inspection: Radon must be performed by licensed individual in IL- Typical cost is $175- $200 for a measurement with continuous monitors- sub it to me
(thanks Pat Bolliger for using me on an inspection! and all you NACHI guys who would use me for Radon.)

6. How much extra for a termite inspectio n: not quite termite inspection, but will note in report if conditions or evidence exists- would sub to a licensed pest control licensee.
7. How far are you willing to drive before charging extra: 35 miles
8. How much would you charge to drive outside that range: an extra fee of 15-30 dollars
