Occasionally we carry out marketing exercises to ensure maximum exposure for our engineering inspection services.
We have now lost count of the amount of times that lifting equipment owners / users have informed us that they have no idea of the cost of their actual engineering inspections services.
Essentially, you will have a cost for your public liability and indemnity policy which may also include driving insurance for garage employees etc. There may even be machinery breakdown coverage for some types of businesses too.
Ultimately though, you will also have a cost for your engineering inspection charges from the engineering inspection company which will make up your over all annual insurance policy fee.
It has become apparent to us that sometimes insurance companies and brokers don’t provide a transparent breakdown of these costs and in our opinion they absolutely should do.
One of our recent engagements with a garage owner proved that transparent breakdown costing is very important.
This particular business declined the offer of our services and assured us that they receive free engineering inspections via their insurance broker.
They just pay their annual premiums and an engineer surveyor turns up on site twice a year.
Unfortunately, nothing in life is ever free.
We strongly advised this business to obtain a transparent breakdown of their inspection costs.
Just to add, please remember that your insurer / broker does not necessarily have to appoint your engineering inspection company.
