How much does this cost?

It depends, and it’s negotiable. As a starting point, it’s about your hourly billing rate for senior engineers multiplied by the number of hours your project requires.

What is the engagement model?

That also depends. We think a monthly, rolling, retainer model is the best value for our customers. This is a simple way to for you to control your budget, eliminate change orders, get priority treatment, and let us to some free R&D for you behind the scenes in those times we don’t have an active project.

But we can also do hourly consulting, and in some scenarios flat fees.

How long do projects take?

yet again, that depends. Projects can be fast-tracked if needed, or projects can be deliberately slowed down by the customer to allow time for testing and feedback. This just takes a conversation.

What happens when our requirements change in the middle of the project?

That means progress is being made! Our process is set up with the expectation that customer requirements will evolve throughout the process.

What if I don’t like your solution?

Throughout our design process, we provide you with the work in progress and encourage your users to test and provide feedback. If you like the progress that’s being made along the way, you will like the final product. If you don’t like the progress you are seeing, you can pivot focus, pause work, or stop work completely whenever you want to minimize sunk cost. So in short, if you don’t like the solution, you will know before you waste a lot of money.

Do I own the deliverables?

Yes. Any software tool we send to you is yours to keep and modify as you see fit.

We don’t have anybody in-house that understands the tools you are building. Will we still be able to use them?

Yes. The tools will be developed with the end user in mind. ALSO, we will encourage you to learn these tools (and even train you). We also offer support after our deliverables are completed.

Can’t we just develop these tools in-house?

Sure! We are not here to compete with your in-house experts and it’s not uncommon for us to work in collaboration with other developers and “power users”.

I can’t think of specific needs. Can you make suggestions?

Yes. We can evaluate your current process, and propose recommended improvements.

Can you do engineering and design work for us?

Kind of. We do have licensed engineers on staff, and that is a good way for us to learn your process and pain points so we can make recommendations. But we won’t sign and seal your drawings. So think of such an effort as an immersive way for us to learn your process, make recommendation, and be part of your production along the way.

What version of Revit do you support?

Whatever version you are using.

Will you sign our NDA?

Probably. We wouldn’t share your secrets with anybody else anyway.

When can we start?

This is your best question yet! Sign up on our waitlist, tell us about yourself, and we will be in touch.
