How
we determine the fee
Our
quality
reports are accepted by all banks and underwriters.
The fees and
services will be detailed
in a written contract that you will
review and sign before the survey takes place.
|
If your sole
criteria
for hiring a Marine
Surveyor is a cheap fee ...we
fully understand ...
However ... we often have the most experience and the best equipment
which means we never have been the cheapest
so we will encourage you to
please keep looking ...
Our estimates are based on a "work
effort" of Seventy Five ($75)
Dollars USD per hour charged
from door to door ...plus ... time for
research, report writing,
and
the type
of equipment used for the survey
(e.g. Infrared Thermography
$150/hr UTM $15/reading).
So
when you
select J.N.
Allinson Associates, Inc. ...
you
will be joining our many satisified customers who are pleased to say
that we were ....
"Not the Cheapest" ... but the "Precision, Quality and Service was
worth
the difference"
The
tables below give an idea of the "expected work effort" based on
the Length Overall (LOA)
However ... The final
fee we quote
in the contract ... may be
different than the guidelines
based upon the
Vessel's:
- age,
- use
(commercial/recreational),
- location,
- condition(ready
for
sale/neglected),
- complexity of
systems,
- the
level
of survey you request,
- construction
material(s) ... wood/fiberglass/metal/composites

VIDEOGRAPHY
Sometimes it is not financially practical
for a prospective buyer to travel to see vessel(s)
before
making an offer.
For
this client we offer a videography service. The buyer can select the
systems
they wish to have filmed and the resultant video with commentary is
posted on our website.
After the client reviews the video they can ask questions before
requesting that we
complete the survey process and provide a written report of survey.
A typical video covers three (3) systems
and costs $350 USD.
The fee for videography is applied towards the cost of what the client
would be charged to complete the survey process and provide a written
report of survey
Examples
of videography
can be viewed
by clicking on
the video camera
