TOPIC: VERY IMPORTANT - READ NOW!! REGARDING INSPECTIONS FOR ALL HIP USERS

Hi Dominic,  
    Glad to help.   FYI, I've just signed up with DDN for their ""Renovation Assessment Reports" which are basically all photos only, with no testing of any sort. They pay very cheap, ($70 each) but are good for filler work along with everything else.
I really hope your project takes off as well. A full inspection with testing, etc. should be priced a lot more...

Dominic,
you will have to have some minimum price set to start with, beside the price per SqFt, since there are many houses with 1500 Sq Ft or less, so taking let's say 13 cents per sqft would price the inspection at $195.00, which would be hardly worth it to drive out if it is 40 miles away or so.

Good point. We'll make sure there's a minimum then tack on the square footage.

FYI

Here in Calif. There are a couple types of services we could do. Some banks want simple drive by visual inspections. They want to know if the property is occupied and what condition it is in. Take  time date stamped  pictures of the exterior and that’s it. Don’t know what they would be willing to pay for the service.

Other property management companies request estimates on the get ready to market cost. That “other” inspection software has some sort of application for estimating cost, Dominic could look into that.

Here in Calif. It is against the law to estimate what you inspect so not sure how to approach that. I would think the property management co’s would want to negotiate a volume deal don’t you ???
