This is pretty much what is done for the $100 - some other things can be included, like spark gap testing, etc. But, the main points are these:

[*]The resistance to earth of each local earth electrode and, where practical, the resistance to earth of the complete earth termination system.
[*]The results of a visual check of all conductors, bonds, and joints or their measured electrical continuity.
