Site Survey Pricing
Survey Menu: ala cart / Smorg.
Pricing.
You will probably will want to make at least $50 an hour for your trouble. In a large installation, the end users will want MANY deliverables for the amount of time an accurate survey will take. In a small shop you might need to provide a solid network, and summary report.
You might want to consider price packaging your services, especially on smaller surveys. For example you could offer a survey with an air audit, and recommendations for $200 if you think that you can get the job done in four hours or less (this is doable in a store-front business).
A warehouse may take three eight hour days, you might want to consider block pricing your time in a flat rate structure such as $500-800 per day, or perhaps a flat rate for a two or three day survey.
As far as incidentals go, you have “zoning” or travel charges, consumables (such as batteries-what you will use specifically for each particular survey). Some Analysts group reports into packages and bulk price them some charge per items, and some have in inclusive deals.
As far as reporting goes here are some options:
* Signal Strength
* Noise
* S/N
* Rogues/Neighbor AP maps.
* Throughput
* Channel Map
* Packet Traces
