FAQ

How do I get a quote for scanning?

Send the location, the element to be scanned, the brief, and any drawings to Corvus. We come back the same working day with a quote, method, and a date in the diary.

Getting a quote from Corvus is straightforward. Here’s how.

Three ways to start

  • The get a quote form on this site. Quickest for most enquiries.
  • Email to bookings@corvus.build with the details below.
  • Phone if you’d rather talk through the brief.

What to include

For the fastest, most accurate quote, include:

  • Location — site address with postcode.
  • The element — slab, wall, column, beam (or “multiple”), with approximate dimensions.
  • Structural type if known — RC, post-tension, masonry, “not sure”.
  • History — age, major works, any known defects.
  • The brief — what question is the scan answering? Pre-drill, structural assessment, defect investigation, etc.
  • Drawings if you have them.
  • Site induction and PPE requirements.
  • Programme constraints — when do you need it done by?
  • Any unusual conditions — height work, confined space, secure environment, possession windows.

The more detail you provide, the more precise the quote.

What you receive

A defensible Corvus quote includes:

  • Scope of work — what we will scan and how.
  • Method statement summary.
  • Day rate or fixed fee.
  • Travel and any other charges, stated explicitly.
  • Deliverable — on-slab markup, PDF report, CAD plan.
  • Reporting timescale.
  • Terms and conditions.

If anything is ambiguous, ask before signing.

Turnaround

  • Quote turnaround: within the same working day for typical enquiries.
  • Site attendance: within days of accepting the quote, subject to mutual availability.
  • Reporting: typically next morning after attendance.

How charges work

  • The quote itself is free.
  • Travel, mobilisation and minimum charges depend on the site location, scope and programme — they are itemised in the quote so the basis is clear up front.
  • Flexible on scope and size — contact us to discuss your project, whether it is a half-day attendance or a multi-week campaign.

Multi-service quotes

If your project would benefit from multiple Corvus services — say, GPR plus ferro on a structural assessment, or LiDAR plus GPR on an as-built capture — we quote them on the same enquiry. Combined attendance is more efficient than separate visits, and the quote reflects that.

What happens after the quote

Once you accept:

  • We confirm the booking with date and time.
  • The full method statement and risk assessment are issued for your review.
  • Site induction is arranged (pre-induction wherever practical).
  • We attend, scan, mark up, debrief on-site, and deliver the report on the agreed timescale.

A short checklist

Before sending the enquiry, check you have:

  • The site address.
  • The brief.
  • Approximate dimensions.
  • Any drawings to share.
  • The programme.

That’s it. Send what you have, and we’ll come back with the rest.
