Billing FAQ:

  1. How do I receive my bill? You will receive an invoice during the first week of the following month with your bill. This email is sent to the email address associated with your portal account.

  2. I have a query in regard to my bill, who do I contact? Please on the Support Desk using the sub-type “Billing”.

  3. How can I pay you? This varies for domestic or international clients, your invoice states the ways you can pay.

  4. At what point am I billed for an iGUIDE? The billable area is recorded once your iGUIDE is published or pre-published by the Drafting Team. Any subsequent updates are also billable.

  5. Why did I receive an invoice when I was given free processing packages? There are a couple of possible explanations for the situation where a package ordered by an operator may have exceeded the scope of the complimentary packages offered or expired before use.

    • One possibility is that the package in question surpassed the predetermined limits set for the complimentary offerings. For example, if the package is based on square footage, it is likely that ordering additional square footage beyond a specified threshold would fall outside the scope of the complimentary package.

    • Another scenario could involve different tiers of packages, such as a Standard iGUIDE versus a Premium iGUIDE, where you, the operator, ordered features or services that are only included in the premium option.

    • Lastly, it is also possible that the complimentary package had a specific timeframe within which it could be utilized, and if you did not make use of it before it expired, you would have to pay for these iGUIDEs.

  6. My account has been suspended, but I have already paid my invoice. Currently, unlocking accounts that were suspended due to late payments is manual, please allow 1 business day for your account to be reactivated, if you require assistance, please open a ticket with the Support Team:

Billable Area Defined

Planitar billable area to operators is all drafted space with very few exceptions. It accounts for the total drafting cost and every Planitar invoice includes a definition of billable area.

The billable area is a sum of interior areas of all floors (including below grade) plus all drafted spaces that may be excluded from the interior floor area totals for the purpose of property size reporting standards, such as sunrooms, crawlspaces, any rooms attached to the house that you can only access from outside and parts of rooms with sloped ceilings where the height of the room is less than 5 ft. Please note that exterior wall thickness does not affect the billable area as it only affects the exterior floor area.

There are drafted spaces that are both excluded from floor area totals for the purpose of property size reporting standards and also from the billable area. These are the exceptions to the rule and include attached garages (main building only, in order to encourage complete floor plans), cold rooms (for historical reasons), areas open to below, and outdoor spaces such as balconies/decks/patios. Both detached and attached garages part of any additional buildings are billable.

Planitar billable area is not the same as Total Above Grade Exterior Area, or Interior Area, from the iGUIDE Report that agents use on MLS. The billable area is not provided in the iGUIDE Report to agents as each operator sets their own billing practices.

The billable area is located on the $ Package & Add-ons page (see Figure 1) and the My iGUIDEs page of the iGUIDE Portal (see Figure 2).
