You are providing just what the client is asking for. A time and $$ restricted inspection.
In that short of time for that $$ amount you are being very honest -- the condo needs further evaluation.
Lets go another way. Go to the site and base you quote on what you see. These condos might be something that you don't want to do at any price or they might be constructed so that they will be very simple to inspect right.
I really find it hard to believe that you will be able to get 52 residents to be there to let you in to their units in one afternoon. Maybe they are not all sold.
Lets us know what your client ends up doing.
Sure would like to see the other inspectors report if he gets the job

I would have to pass letting him know that it was not possible for me to detail the deficiencies of 52 units, in one afternoon, even if it was only the roofing, exteriors and attics.

Hi all:
These are townhouses. I quoted a proper fee of $200.00 per unit and advised it could take up to six days. The prospective client was no longer interested. This blew my mine as this guy is in management with a chain of electronic retail stores.
Oh well, maybe this inspector will get lucky and the builder and sub trades have done a decent job. A lot of people do not realize that 99 % of builders build to minimum standards. It is the inspection industry over the last fifteen years or so that have forced the building standards to be improved.
