Pricing

Our competitive price advantage is made possible by our low overhead, tight in-house cost control, and a project-centric team approach.  The two most common price methods are: 1) hourly, and 2) fixed fee.  Each method has their common applications and basis for implementation.

1) Hourly pricing - Compensation is calculated by the number of hours worked by the team member performing the work.  This method is best when the scope of work is undefined or unexpected work is encountered.  

2) Fixed Fee pricing - This method is by far the most requested because the cost and pay schedules can be negotiated and budgeted before any work is preformed.  This is only possible when a fairly clear vision of the project can be communicated in terms of objectives, criteria and restrictions.  We typically quantify each and every facet of the work with specific terms and conditions.
