Access & Payment Instructions

Once you have finalised your architectural design and have updated the "ProFrame XL" design programme with any revisions to the 'input' data so that the timber-frame design data is also finalised; you can take advantage of our "Professional 'Support' Services" by compressing a copy of the finalised design programme into a 'zipped' folder and then e-mailing it as an attachment to "Self-Build-Pro (Chartered Surveyors)"; then simply pay for the required service by using the appropriate 'drop-down' menu below to make the appropriate payment.

NB: Clicking on the "Add to Cart" buttons automatically selects the item currently showing from the 'drop-down' list and takes you to the fully encrypted 'PayPal' merchant banking website where you can choose from a variety of options how you wish to pay!  (NB: Please rest assured that your financial details will remain totally secure and the ONLY information that we ever receive simply states who has paid for whichever service(s)!

You can add as many items as you require by repeating the process of highlighting the items in turn on the drop-down lists and clicking on the 'Add to Cart' button.  You can also check what is already in your 'Cart' by clicking on the 'View Cart' button.  If you wish to change the quantity of any particular item that you are paying for; simply change the 'quantity' on PayPal's secure payment webpage and then click on 'Update'; similarly you can remove any item by highlighting it and clicking on 'Remove'.

IMPORTANT: Please note that whilst the fee for 'Ref: FLD'; i.e. sets of timber-frame fabrication layout drawings, material lists and cutting schedules; is a one-off fee irrespective of how many matching 'units' are involved; conversely the basic 'Ref: WSRF (Calc's)'/'Ref: WSRF-FA (Calc's)' and/or 'Ref: SDC (Calc's.)'/'Ref: SDCFA (Calc's)' fees only pay for a single 'detached', 'semi-detached' or 'terraced' block licence.  If you wish or intend to use the "Wind-Loadings & Racking Forces" OR the residential dwellings "Structural Design Calculations" for multiple matching 'blocks'; please select the 'Additional Licences' option, click the "Add to Cart" button and then change the quantity required to the appropriate number before finally making payment.

(NB: The number of 'units' that the Licence to use the "Wind-Loadings & Racking Forces" OR "Structural Calculations" will cover, will be established purely by virtue of how many 'Additional Licences' have been added and paid for; i.e. irrespective of how many 'units' are indicated as being required on the copy of the design programme that is submitted by e-mail for us to work upon!)

 

Payment options include Visa & MasterCard (Debit/Credit Cards), or PayPal account if you have one.
