Additional Building/Unit Surcharge Policy

  • At Tyto Media we strive to provide fair and accurate pricing based on the time and resources required for each photoshoot. Our standard pricing is determined by the heated square footage of the main house, which helps us estimate the necessary time for the photoshoot and the expected number of final images.

 

  • However, certain variables may significantly extend the time required beyond our standard calculations. In such cases, Tyto Media reserves the right to apply additional surcharges to account for the extra time and effort needed by our photographers and editing team.

​

​

  • Surcharge Criteria

    • Additional fees may apply if a property includes:

      • Guest houses, In-law Suites, or detached living spaces

      • Large separate structures (e.g., barns, detached garages, workshops)

      • Multi-unit properties (e.g., duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes)

A client may opt out of having additional buildings/units photographed to avoid these fees.

 

  • Standard Surcharge Rates

    • Duplexes: A $50 surcharge applies. The combined square footage of both units determines the base service category, with the surcharge accounting for additional variables such as two kitchens, two living areas, and multiple entry points.

    • Other additional units or structures: Pricing is determined on a case-by-case basis, based on the time required for photography and editing work.

 

  • Booking Considerations

    • Clients must inform us in advance if additional units or structures require photography so we can schedule accordingly.

    • If extra buildings/units are requested on-site but not pre-booked, we may accommodate the request based on availability, and the surcharge will be added to the final invoice.

 

  • This policy ensures fair pricing while maintaining efficiency and quality in our work. If you have any questions about additional surcharges, please contact us before booking.
