Creating a property order on SiteRecon is a three-step process with one additional optional step. Let's explore it.
1. Search Property Address
For first-time users, the My Properties page may look different. But don't worry, we're here to guide you through every step of the way.
Click on New Property and select “single property” from the drop-down.
The Address Search bar will open. Type in the address of the property in the search bar and select one option from the suggestions provided or press enter. The map of the address will appear on the screen with the “Confirm Address” button.
Confirm Property Parcel
Once the address is confirmed, your order is saved in the draft status which you can refer back to from the “My Properties” page if you leave before completing the order.
In the next step, SiteRecon shows the parcel of the property available in the public records for the pin location confirmed in the previous step. If the parcel is okay, simply click “Confirm Parcel”. If the Parcel needs to be modified based on the scope of measurements required, you can use the tools available to modify it accordingly.
Note: SiteRecon does not measure anything outside the parcel boundary confirmed by the user.
If there are any additional comments or notes regarding the property or parcel or features to be measured, please mention them in the “Additional Order Notes” box and SiteRecon will keep it in consideration while working on the order. Attachments can also be uploaded with the notes.
(Optional): Input Customer Information
Users can choose to input the end customer's or prospect's information in this step for record purposes and easy recall when searching and reviewing the orders later.
Customer Name - Property owner or manager
Customer ID - Internal ID used by you to recognize the customer
Description of Services - Services or jobs which are planned on this property
2. Select Property Features
Based on the scope of the services to be delivered by the user to the end customer they can determine features they need to be measured in the property.
Select the required features and click on “Done”. You can review what these features mean by hovering over the info icon against each feature.
3. Review Cost and Confirm Order
Generate Measurements
In the final step, review the order's credit consumption and estimated delivery time and click on Generate Measurements. Users can also choose to change the dates on which imagery is taken by selecting from the “Imagery Options”. By default, the latest imagery is selected but sometimes its better to select imagery of leaf-off season if the tree cover is heavy inside the parcel.
You can also choose to measure features on your own if you think the property is simple and easy. You have to click on “Create Your Own” and start tracing your own measurements over the high-resolution Nearmap imagery. You can also choose to work with the base map if it looks clear and up to date to save the Nearmap cost. Learn more about this feature
