Schedule of Condition Cost Guide

Schedule of condition cost varies according to the property, the purpose of the instruction, and the depth of reporting required. There is no single fee that fits every building because inspection time and reporting time change materially with scale, access, and complexity.

If you need a live quote or want to scope an instruction, use the schedule of condition service page. For capital-based instructions, use schedule of condition London.

What Affects Schedule of Condition Cost?

• Floor area and overall building size.
• Complexity of layout, plant, roof coverage, and ancillary spaces.
• How much written reporting and tagging is required.
• Whether the schedule is for a lease, works risk, or another evidential purpose.
• Whether high-level elements need extra attention or image capture.

Why Two Similar Buildings Can Cost Different Amounts

Two buildings with similar floor area may still require very different levels of inspection and reporting. A clean open-plan office is not the same as a mixed-use property, an industrial unit with roof-level issues, or a building where the lease places unusual emphasis on certain elements.

Does a Cheaper Schedule Always Represent Better Value?

No. The document needs to remain usable later. If the reporting is too thin, the cost saving at instruction stage can be outweighed by weaker evidence when the schedule is actually needed in a lease or dispute context.

When to Ask for Scope Before Price

The most efficient route is often to define the scope first: building type, timing, likely use of the report, and whether the instruction relates to a lease or pre-works evidence. That usually produces a more realistic fee than asking for a number in isolation.
