Building Analyst testing costs $795, and includes both the written and field exams. The cost is reduced by $100, to $695, if the candidate can provide their own house in the greater New Bedford/Fall River area for testing. If the house is more than 30 minutes from NB/FR, we will need to charge for travel time. See below to understand requirements.
