The individual prices don't match the totals!

The individual prices don't match the totals!

This is a very common question we receive. Essentially, the line item price for every individual item will never match the column total or "Whole Home" total. Why? Because by using custom weighting ratios and calculations we work out not only the individual cost to fix each item, but also the projected cost if ONE contractor or professional were to visit the property and fix all items (or all items in one area eg: Plumbing) at one time.

For instance, a plumber would normally charge a call out fee just to show up, but if they were fixing multiple issues the cost of that fee would be spread across many items, and contribute to the "Whole Home" fee as a total.

We hope that helps! Don't worry, your report is not incorrect and the prices are not meant to match the totals.
