Costs for LSRP services from different providers can range quite a bit for seemingly similar work.  Factors influencing these costs are typically the LSRP's hourly rate, which often reflects the experience of the LSRP and the amount of time it will take to provide the services.  The use of support staff and selection of subcontractors can also influence total costs.

When selecting an LSRP, consider additional factors including:

• Anticipated outcome of your project scope.  
• How much time has the LSRP has spent to help you understand the requirements - the risks - what you must do - and what you are not required to do.
• Activities that may provide additional value or reduce risks.
