Fixed price, quoted before the visit. No day rates that creep.
Every DSEAR assessment is quoted as a fixed figure after a short scoping call, before anyone visits. If the site turns out to be smaller than described, the price comes down. It does not go up.
Health and safety offences in the Crown Court carry unlimited fines, and sentencing is scaled to turnover. That is before you count the shutdown, the insurance position and the contract you lose because a client asked for your DSEAR assessment and you did not have one.
Increasingly it is the last one that gets people to pick up the phone. Tier-one contractors on the big energy sites now ask for it at pre-qualification.
For a single site with one or two areas of concern, expect a fixed fee quoted after a ten-minute scoping call. Price is driven by the number of separate areas needing zoning, not by the size of the company. We quote a fixed figure before any visit, so there is nothing to argue about afterwards.
Travel within Wales and the South West is included. Further afield we add it at cost and tell you the figure up front. There are no surprise line items.
No. Where hazardous area classification is needed, it is part of the assessment. If you only want zoning drawings for an area already assessed, that is quoted separately.
Multiple buildings, multiple separate release sources, a site with no existing drawings, or process plant that needs a basis of safety review. Night or weekend access on a live site also moves it.
No charge for the conversation. Most quotes go out the same day.
