Distance Consulting Services
Tree House Consulting by phone or email
When the distance is great and/or the budget for the tree house is small, we will do our best to help you from our office. We will ask for:
- photos of your trees from different angles.
- measurements of the trees - see our layout page.
- a description of how we can help.
Costs for Distance Consulting
Our normal tree house consulting rate is $140 per hour with a one hour minimum. For initial tree house platform design, it usually takes 1 to 2 hours to give you enough help to do a good job on your own. If you want plans, materials lists, and/or more support than average, this can take up to about 5-6 hours. Any longer than that, and you probably need more help than we can provide from a distance.
Other Pre-Construction Costs:
Depending on your specific situation and goals, you may want to proceed with designing a tree house or bringing others in for more information. Most designers, engineers, and consulting arborists will charge $100 to $275 per hour. All of these steps are not always necessary, and we will help explain the risks & benefits of each.
