FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Our standard pricing has been set at $45 for mechanical design hours and $85 for mechanical or electrical engineering hours. An important note on these rates is that only value added hours are charged. We view hours spent understanding your product, understanding your scope, preliminary drawings, etc. as part of the sales process as well as an investment in the hopes of a long term relationship.

Primary importance is to meet face to face with the client and establish the best means of ongoing communication. Set clear expectations with regards to the scope of the project including schedule and budget.
