Straight answers before you book

We’re based in Prince George, BC and cover the Prince George area and the rest of British Columbia. Inspection, auditing and field PMI are also available across Canada and internationally. For work outside BC, email us and we’ll confirm logistics.

For on-site services, a $175 booking fee holds your date and covers the work agreement. It comes off your final quote. After you book, we call or email to confirm the date and scope.

We usually need at least 5 business days’ notice, and dates go first come, first served. If your timeline is tighter, call anyway. If we can’t make it work, we’ll tell you straight away.

Inspection and field services are quoted per project, with day rates, per diems and kilometres or travel depending on location and duration. Lab testing starts at $125 for the first item, and XRF courses are $425 (Level 1) and $275 (Level 2) plus GST per student in Prince George.
