The price will be based upon age of vessel, prior maintenance history what you request done and how invasive the current owner will allow. If boat is salt water stored and any sign of water backing in to induction side from exhaust add 3 hours per engine to access and inspect elbows and turbo.

A few years ago I was considering a GB with JD 6125s. The after coolers had never been serviced. Some other servicing issues were extremely tardy as well. To perform a thorough survey while doing catchup maintenance was agreed to by owner with costs to be split accordingly. We never carried through as other vessels came along that were more enticing.

So, the cost to do a survey IMHO is dependent upon how deep you want/need to dig.
