Every element on your invoice traces to one of four pricing mechanisms: administrative fees, product rates with production days, flat rates, or system bundles. This guide shows each, with worked examples, so you can estimate your project total before we begin.
All prices subject to adjustment based on project complexity and specific requirements. Rates reflect professional liability exposure audited annually by our insurance provider.
| Fee | Trigger | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Production Day | Each on-site inspection day | $600/day |
| Rush Service | < 24 hours notice | $400 |
| No Show | No one present, no prior notice | $400 |
| Post-Production Inspection | Reviewing completed work | 2 × (services + prod. days) |
Post-production inspections carry double the standard rate — certifying work after completion means conditions can no longer be directly observed during installation, increasing liability.
These products require on-site presence during installation. The base rate covers certification; production days reflect actual time on site. IBC code requirements for Continuous Special Inspections determine which products fall into this category.
| Service | Base | + Production | Required Add-ons |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wall Anchors | $400 | days × $600 | Backfill required $300 |
| Wall Anchors + C-Channels | $400 | days × $600 | Backfill required $300 |
Slab Patch/Repair in garages (reverse installations): additional $300
| Service | Base | + Production |
|---|---|---|
| Carbon Fiber Strips (CFRP) | $400 | days × $600 |
| Intellibraces (PowerBrace) | $400 | days × $600 |
| Service | Base | + Production | Required Add-ons |
|---|---|---|---|
| Push Piers | $400 | days × $600 | Backfill required $300 |
| Helical Piers | $400 | days × $600 | Backfill required $300 |
| Slab Piers | $400 | days × $600 | Slab Patch required $300 |
Backfill inspections verify soil replacement and compaction around structural elements. Slab patch/repair ensures safe restoration of concrete surfaces after invasive work. Both are mandated for compliance.
When the scope is fully defined, a single rate replaces the base + production day formula. Predictable cost, streamlined scheduling.
| Service | Rate | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| ABCD Foundations | $600 | Backfill inspection per section |
No production day multiplier. Can be combined with production day services when projects span multiple categories.
| Service | Rate |
|---|---|
| Steel Supplemental Beam (S-type or W-type) | $400 |
| Lumber Main Beams | $300 |
| Lumber Perimeter Beams | $300 |
| Lumber Sill Plates | $300 |
| Lumber Band Boards | $300 |
| Lumber Rim Joists | $300 |
| Lumber Web Stiffeners — TJs | $300 |
| Lumber Floor Joists | $300 |
| Lumber Subfloors | $300 |
| Service | Rate |
|---|---|
| Intellijacks + CIP Footers | $400 |
| Intellijacks + Precast Footers | $400 |
| Wall Pins | $400 |
| System | Rate | Components Inspected |
|---|---|---|
| Encapsulation System | $300 | CrawlSeal (20mil barrier), ExtremeBloc insulation, dehumidifier |
Encapsulation inspections verify completeness and quality of moisture and air control layers in crawlspaces — barrier integrity, insulation alignment, and humidity management.
| System | Rate |
|---|---|
| Water Management (basement or crawlspace) | $300 |
Required with Basement Gutter and/or Drain Tile: WallSeal 6mil Moisture Barrier ($300) and Slab Patch/Repair ($300). Ensures moisture control at wall-floor interfaces and durable concrete restoration.
Five scenarios showing how base rates, production days, and required add-ons compose into a final invoice.
Aligning logistics early and confirming access details helps avoid avoidable fees and keeps your project on track.
