Indicative figures, and the two things that actually move them.

Tell us the building and roughly how many doors, and we will arrange the inspection.
Fire Doors Brisbane — firedoorsbrisbane.com.au — arranges these inspections with a QBCC-licensed contractor across Brisbane, Ipswich, Logan, Redlands and the Gold Coast.
What follows is indicative. Door count and access set the price more than anything else, and nobody can quote a building properly without seeing it.
| Item | Indicative | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Inspection, per door | $18 - $35* | The AS 1851-2012 inspection (6- or 12-monthly) of a single fire or smoke door, recorded and tagged. Per-door rates fall as door count rises. *Minimums apply and quoted prices are dependent on volume. |
| First inspection of an untagged building | add 20% - 40% | Doors have to be identified, numbered and recorded before they can be assessed. A one-off on the first year only. |
| Callout fee | $450 - $650 | Applies to buildings with fewer than 25 doors, and to buildings outside the Brisbane area. Below that size the visit costs more than the doors do. |
| Defect repairs, per door | $250 - $800* | Minor faults such as a closer adjustment, a hinge or a seal sit at the lower end. Corrosion treatment, planing, repainting and new signage on the same door sit at the upper end. *Each defect is quoted from the inspection report before any work starts. |
| Door replacement | quoted per door | A leaf beyond repair is replaced with a rated doorset, priced on the door type and size. |
Door count first. Per-door rates fall as the number rises. Below 25 doors, or outside the Brisbane area, a callout fee applies.
Access second. Where apartment entry doors are in scope the inspection needs notice, scheduling and repeat visits for the ones nobody was home for. That is the main reason two buildings of the same size quote differently.
Prices are indicative only and depend on door count, building type and access. A fixed written quote follows a site visit.
