PROCESS

A preliminary meeting or telephone consultation is held with the client to define the scope of work. A written proposal is submitted describing the scope of work, timetable and fee. The deliverables are a written report and a presentation.

The fee is assessed by the project, not by time. Once agreed upon, it is fixed. Half the fee is payable on signature of an agreement to proceed. Half, plus any expenses, is payable on completion. This ensures that billings do not exceed the original estimate, unless additional work is agreed.
