Íâ¹úÃÀŮɫÇéƬ Fee Increase
Effective April 1, 2024, CWB Íâ¹úÃÀŮɫÇéƬ will be increasing our certification fees and rates for general services. The average price increase on our services and rates is 3.5%, which reflects increases in CWB Íâ¹úÃÀŮɫÇéƬ’s costs due in part to inflationary pressures, increased supplier costs, and resource shortages. Â
All invoices issued on or after this date will reflect this new pricing.
CWB Íâ¹úÃÀŮɫÇéƬ strives for a cost-recovery model with prices significantly below industry standards. The impact on our most common fees/rates is as follows:
