No two inspections are the same, so it’s reasonable that calculating fees may not be equal from house to condo to any other dwelling.
Of course, you have your standard base rate, but then add-ons come into play like radon testing, mold detection, and others. One factor that can’t be overlooked when pricing inspections for clients is property age. Today, we’re excited to make it easier for you to exclude specific services from property age calculations.
Why is this great for inspectors?
Not only are the calculations easier in ISN, but excluding services gives companies more granular control over which services can be opted into or out of property age fee calculations.
This allows you to charge a premium based on the age of the dwelling being inspected. Some services like mold inspections, for example, may not need to take property age into account when calculating fees, and this new ISN setting lets you exclude those services.
An easier process, more control, and you get to charge a premium? Talk about a win-win-win!
How to exclude services during fee calculations in ISN
For some fees, it makes sense to utilize the property age calculator, but not when a specific service is added to the cart. You can now update your settings to account for it by following these steps:
Navigate to Settings –> Office Settings –> Inspection and Fee Settings –> Property Age Fees
Below your property age fees, you’ll see the “exclude” area where you can exclude specific inspection types:
Keep scrolling a bit further to the “services” section:
For this example, we’ll configure the fees so the property age calculator isn’t applied when “Mold Inspection” is selected.
Calculation using property age fee
Calculation without using property age fee
Navigate to Settings –> Office Settings –> Inspection and Fee Settings –> Property Age Fees and select “Mold Inspection.” Once you click “save,” the next order you have that includes a mold inspection won’t include your property age calculator:
