What does an asbestos survey cost?

• Preliminary investigation of building files and relevant documentation
• On-site inspection by certified inspectors
• Sampling and laboratory analysis in accordance with NEN 5896
• Complete inventory report with photos, floor plans and risk classification
• Recommendations for remediation or safe use
• LAVS registration if required for demolition/notification

• Extra sampling: €25 – €50 per sample
• Rush order (<48 hours): €100 – €250 surcharge
• Destructive inspection in hard-to-reach areas
• Re-inspection after renovation or report update

• Combine the inventory with other work (such as energy saving research) to avoid double inspection costs.
• Always request multiple quotes via jeofferte.nl. This way you compare price and content of the service.

The cost of an asbestos survey can vary significantly from project to project. This is because the price depends on several substantive and practical factors. Below, we explain the most important price determinants.

1. Type of survey (A or B)

• Type A is a non-destructive, visual inspection and therefore simpler and cheaper.
• Type B is a destructive inspection (during demolition or renovation) where parts of the building must be broken open. This entails more work, risk, and repair costs.

Type B inspection is typically 30% to 60% more expensive than a standard Type A inspection.

2. Size and complexity of the building

The larger the object, the more spaces need to be inspected. A complex layout (crawl spaces, suspended ceilings, multiple floors) also requires more time, samples, and reporting.

• Small home: lower price (shorter inspection time, less sampling)
• Commercial building, school, or apartment complex: higher price (larger scope, many variables)

3. Accessibility of spaces

Spaces that are difficult to access (such as roofs, crawl spaces, technical installations) may require additional labor time and safety measures. Consider ladders, scaffolding, protective clothing, or negative pressure systems.

4. Number of material samples required

If suspicious materials are found, they are sampled and analyzed in a certified laboratory. Each sample analysis incurs additional costs (average €25 to €50 per sample). The more samples required, the higher the total price.

5. Urgent request or outside office hours

For a request for an inventory on very short notice, on weekends, or outside regular working hours, an urgent surcharge is usually charged.

• Urgent surcharge: €100 – €250
• Night rates or weekend: upon request

6. Region and travel distance

The location of the object plays a role. In some regions, fewer certified inspection agencies are active, which can lead to higher rates or travel costs. For multiple inspections on the same day at the same location, economies of scale can be applied.

7. Combination with other services

When an asbestos inventory is combined with other surveys (such as soil survey, energy label, structural inspection), the inspection agency can offer a total price with a discount.

Conclusion:
The price of an asbestos inventory is tailor-made. Via jeofferte.nl, you will quickly and without obligation receive multiple quotes tailored to your property, location, and wishes. This will give you insight into the costs and the content of the survey.
