We firmly believe the fundamentals of engineering design and manufacture are the same in any industry. The scale may differ, but the guiding rules and principles are generally the same.
We can’t answer this question meaningfully without knowing more about your project, but we can give you a few indications. Let’s start with the easy bit.
Standard Hourly Rate: £50 (+VAT), This covers pretty much everything from design through to engineering drawings, FEA and much more.
We (generally) invoice differently.
One thing that makes White Horse CAD different is that we rarely work to a fixed price. This is because we believe the only person who loses out in a fixed-price transaction is the client. more than 98% of our projects are invoiced by the minute, without a minimum order quantity. this makes us 100% efficient for nearly all of our clients. That said, we are happy to quote for fixed-price work if that fits your needs better
But how much do projects cost?
Some projects cost £30 (+VAT), and some projects cost much, much more. It really depends on the scope of the work and how long we need to spend on it. We are happy to give you a worst-case ballpark cost before we start, but if you are happy for us to work to an hourly rate rather than a fixed price, you will almost always be invoiced for less than if you request a fixed price. We find that as we build trust with our clients, the need to give a ballpark figure before starting work on a project reduces significantly.
