Every project we enter into with a client is outlined in a proposal – there are no exceptions to this. Every proposal we deliver to a new or existing client outlines all elements which have been discussed during preliminary meetings and discussions. At this juncture, we provide details and fees for the elements we have discussed which have to be approved prior to engagement.
However, as projects progress clients requirements often expand – this is the reason for this section.
As a business – we sell our time and as such we have to bill accordingly. This said, if a project grows, please do not take offence if we charge for our increased efforts. This will never be done covertly, we will always be upfront and honest.
Depending on the value, size or complexity of a project we may request an official purchase order for a project.
A purchase order will relate to any items specified within the proposal document of quotation submitted – as such any additional works over and above said spcified works will be billed separately at the end of the project and charged at our standard hourly rate plus any external costs and.or disbursements.
