Consultation
Inquire and get a clear direction on solutions
Five minutes with an engineer, and an honest view on whether we are the right fit for the work.
Phone or WhatsApp, whichever suits you. If the free time is not enough we say so on the call and quote the next part before we do it. Time is bought in half-hour blocks, and you never pay for a minute we did not work.
Free for the first 5 minutes, then $5 per 30 minutes
($10 for a prepaid hour, paid before the call, so nobody is interrupted mid-conversation.)

The platforms these prices are quoted against
Hardware
Bought at cost, marked up lean
We are not a reseller. Hardware is quoted against the price on the day of procurement, and our margin is on the expertise and the delivery, never on the box. You can check the price yourself before you sign anything.
Always included
In every engagement, without exception
Test evidence
Measured results, not assertions. Screenshots and logs where they help.
As-built documentation
Drawings and records that match what is actually installed, not what was planned.
A named engineer
You deal with the person doing the work, and they stay on it until handover.
No supplier lock-in
Everything we build is documented so your next engineer can pick it up.
