Technical Consultation and Survey in Warsaw — When You Need It and What It Includes
28.03.2026Technical Consultation and Survey in Warsaw — When You Need It and What It Includes
Before starting any work, sometimes you need someone to come and look first. A technical consultation is a visit where the technician inspects the site, takes measurements, assesses the scope of work, and gives recommendations. It’s not a repair or installation — it’s a preparatory step that saves time and money. We cover all of Warsaw — from Mokotow to Targowek.

A consultation is a separate service. Current prices are in the table below. If you order work after the survey, the consultation fee may be credited towards the total bill — confirm when booking.
| Service | min | max |
|---|---|---|
| Technical consultation | 150 zł | 300 zł |
| Inspection / measurement | 150 zł | 300 zł |
How a technical consultation works — step by step
- You describe the task and send photos — the technician determines if a visit is needed.
- If the task can be assessed remotely — the technician provides a preliminary estimate from photos.
- If an on-site survey is needed — we schedule the visit.
- On site, the technician inspects walls, utilities, and structures — depending on the task.
- Takes measurements: tape measure, spirit level, wire detector — whatever the situation requires.
- Gives recommendations: what materials are needed, what the scope of work is, how long it will take.
- You receive a written estimate with cost breakdown — you can think it over and get back to us.
Book a consultation — and you’ll know exactly what’s needed, how much it costs, and how long it will take.
When a consultation is essential (and when it’s not)
- Essential: before major installations (kitchen, built-in furniture, plumbing frames) — measurements are a must.
- Essential: if you’re unsure the task is feasible (plasterboard wall, hidden wiring, unusual layout).
- Essential: in disputes with a contractor — an independent inspection and condition assessment.
- Not needed: for simple tasks (hanging a shelf, replacing a handle) — a phone photo is enough.
- Not needed: if you already know the scope and just need someone to do the work.
- Not sure? Ask by phone. We’ll tell you if a visit is necessary.
How to prepare for the survey visit
- Define the task: what needs doing, what outcome you expect.
- If you have drawings, floor plans, or a design — have them ready.
- Clear access to the inspection area — move furniture, boxes, curtains.
- If the problem is hidden (leak, crack behind wallpaper) — show all the symptoms.
- Prepare a list of questions — the technician will answer on site.
- Ensure good lighting in the inspection area.
- Provide the intercom code and parking information.
- If multiple rooms need inspection — let us know in advance so the technician can allocate enough time.
Real case: Ochota district
A client in Ochota was planning to install a built-in wardrobe in a hallway alcove. They sent photos and approximate dimensions. The technician came for a survey — and found that the alcove walls were not parallel (3 cm difference), plus a cable duct ran across the ceiling that needed to be worked around. Without an on-site visit, this would have been impossible to account for. The technician took precise measurements, drew a diagram, and provided a materials list. The client ordered the wardrobe to those specs — during installation, everything fit perfectly with no on-site adjustments. The consultation fee paid for itself through zero rework.
