Pricing

Pricing Systems

Software Development pricing is variable depending on job size, tool requirements and resources.

Software Development is also happy to quote on a per job basis based on a specification provided by the client.

Consultation

First consultations are generally free where Software Development will outline a project, time frame and estimated costs.

Consultation rates with Project Leaders and or Lead Programmers are either charged on a specification creation process or on a per hour rate depending on the project requirements.

Specification Preparation

Most programming jobs whether big or small require a specification prepared to outline the project. Specifications generally include flowcharts, database design and detailed descriptions on what the program does. Software Development will prepare a specification for you at a pre-agreed on price if not already prepared by yourself.

A specification is basically the blue print (floor plan) for the program to be developed and is vital in ensuring a finished product that satisfies all your requirements.

A specification prepared by Software Development would also include detailed pricing for different stages that the development requires. This provides the client with a detailed price for the job from start to finish.
