Hiring guide
How much does an accessibility report cost and what influences the budget?
Understand the factors that change the price, what to check in the proposal and how to separate the cost of diagnosis from project and construction expenses.
The price of an accessibility report depends on the scope of the assessment, the characteristics of the property and the conditions to carry out the work. To find out the value of your case, you must inform the location, use, approximate area and purpose of the document. This guide does not present a price chart for Acessibilize.
Why not indicate a single price?
A single-story store and a multi-story building may require different work. Even properties with a similar area may have different amounts of access, bathrooms, circulation and environments to be checked.
The objective is also important: to find out the situation of the property, prepare a renovation or respond to a documentary request. Before pricing, you need to understand the required delivery.
Tracks published on other websites are not proposals from Acessibilize. Without knowing what was included, the city and the survey conditions, they cannot automatically calculate the price of your property.
O CAU provides a reference value system for fees, based on information about the enterprise and service. A reference does not replace the definition of the work and the specific proposal.
What influences the budget for the accessibility report?
Area, configuration and complexity
The area helps to size the work, but should not be analyzed in isolation. Number of floors, environments, routes and conditions of use also affect the survey and analysis.
For example, two units with the same size can have very different operations: one has a single hall; another distributes the service in different rooms, levels and accesses.
Location and conditions of inspection
Displacement, access to areas and permitted times must be agreed. An occupied property may require organization of the operation to allow records and measurements without unduly interrupting service.
Documents and purpose
Available plans, previous assessments and received requirements help define the scope. It is necessary to check whether the documentation represents the built space and what complements will be necessary.
O MPSC advises you to select the questions applicable to the work. This reinforces the importance of a contextualized assessment, rather than assuming that every property requires the same list of activities.
Deadline and expected deliveries
Inform the desired deadline before hiring. Feasibility depends on agenda, access to the location, documents and analysis time. Urgency should not be treated as authorization to suppress technical steps.
How to compare two proposals?
Compare what each amount covers, not just the total. Check whether the proposals cover the same areas and the same purpose. A partial assessment and another of the entire building are not equivalent deliveries.
- Inspection: areas covered and planned visits.
- Document: records, analysis, conclusion and delivery format.
- Responsibility: professional and technical activity assumed.
- Return: clarifications, meetings and reviews included.
- Conditions: term, expenses, payment and excluded activities.
In architectural services, CAU clarifies responsibility for measures relating to RRT. Ask how registration and corresponding costs will be handled, without assuming that a registration fee represents the entire price of the service.
To better understand delivery, please consult which must contain an accessibility report. A clear proposal allows you to compare conditions without disqualifying professionals just because of the price.
Price of the report is not a budget for the work
The report documents the assessment of existing conditions. If interventions are necessary, detailing the solutions may require a project. Execution involves other activities, materials and contracting.
Do not assume that purchasing the report includes executive plans, quantities, construction budget or monitoring. These deliverables must be expressed in the proposal when they are part of the contract.
See the comparison accessibility report or project: which one to hire?. To organize priorities between interventions, a adaptation plan.
What information should you send to request a quote?
An objective request helps the team identify the work needed. Send:
- City, address and activity of the property.
- Approximate area and number of floors or units.
- Reason for evaluation and intended deadline.
- Plans, photographs and previous reports available.
- Requirement received, if any, with its complete content.
- Access or operation restrictions for the inspection.
Photographs support the initial understanding, but do not prove all conditions of use. The necessary withdrawal will be defined according to the situation.

Talk about the budgetFrequently asked questions about pricing
Can the value be calculated just by the square footage?
The footage is important information, but configuration, use, purpose and conditions of the survey also need to be considered.
Does a permit report have a fixed price?
Administrative purpose does not make all cases equal. Submit the requirement to define the service permit report. The budget does not imply a guarantee of approval.
Can I hire just the diagnosis?
Yes, when this is the appropriate service and is defined in the proposal. Projects, works and other stages must be contracted as necessary.
