Fixed scope. Written proposal. You own the result.

Platform builds are priced by scope, not by the hour, and the number is in writing before work starts. Management plans are optional and month to month.

Platform builds

Questions people ask before signing

How is a project priced?

Discovery produces a written scope, and the proposal prices that scope as one fixed number. The figure depends on how many service lines, integrations, and user types are involved, which is why it is not printed here. Tell us about the process and you will have a number within days of the first call.

Is the price really fixed?

Yes. If you want to add something mid-build, we price the addition separately and you decide. You never get a surprise invoice.

Do I have to buy a management plan?

No. You own the code and can host it anywhere or hand it to your own IT team. Most clients choose a plan because the person who built the system is the one supporting it.

What does discovery cost?

The first call is free. If a project needs a deeper discovery phase before it can be scoped, that phase is quoted separately and credited against the build if you proceed.

How is this different from buying off-the-shelf software?

Off-the-shelf tools charge per seat forever and make you work around their assumptions. A custom platform is built around how your operation runs, has no per-seat fees, and is an asset on your balance sheet.

Not sure which tier fits? Put your numbers into the process cost calculator or send the messy version and we will sort it out together.
