§ 06 · § 06 · Frequently asked questions
Before commissioning a report
01 How much does an expert report cost?
It depends on the scope and complexity. After a free initial consultation you will receive a fixed written quote before any work begins.

Both. Every report is drafted under the Spanish Civil Procedure Act and applicable technical standards, with the traceability required for judicial ratification.
03 How long does it take from first contact?
Between two and four weeks from inspection, depending on the case. Deadlines are always agreed in writing beforehand.
04 Do you operate outside Catalonia?
