Hereās a question most building owners never askā¦
Who actually carried out your last TM44 inspection?
Your HVAC company?
An FM provider?
A compliance agency?
Or was it subcontracted⦠then subcontracted again⦠until it finally landed with the actual TM44 assessor doing the work for a fraction of what you paid?
Letās keep the maths simple:
TM44 Assessor Fee = X
Now add a margin.
Then another margin.
Then another.
By the time it reaches the client, the price has doubled ā sometimes tripled ā for the SAME report⦠often by the SAME assessor.
The industry has normalised layers of middlemen taking commission while the client picks up the bill.
Is that good value?
Is it transparent?
Or have businesses just become comfortable being overcharged for compliance?
Most clients think theyāre paying for expertise.
In reality, many are paying for admin, logos, and mark-ups.
Go direct to qualified TM44 assessors.
Cut the layers.
Cut the inflated costs.
Get the same outcome without funding the commission chain.
Somebody had to say it, happy Monday all x
