Using our Consultancy Services
Our consultancy services are normally charged out at a pre agreed hourly rate.  We will, on request, give the client an estimate of the time their specification is likely to take to fulfil, but this can only ever be an estimate. It is not possible to absolutely guarantee  to complete the remit within an estimated  timescale as progress can be affected by unknown and outside influences or circumstances beyond our control. We will always use our best endeavours however and always optimise the use of our time by using the most effective and efficiient methods available to us.  If we do need more time or consider a different approach to be more effective as things evolve, we will always refer back to the client before incurring any further costs and again will do our utmost to obtain the best results we can within the agreed time allocation. We do on occasion agree a set fee  for a project and in this instance that fee will be agreed in writing and the project will be completed without further cost even if we have to go over estimated time allowed. However if it is not possible to deliver the results within the time estimated we will give the client the option of continuing if they wish or of terminating the agreement  if the customer wishes to consider changing direction or other options. We cannot take responsibility for loss or inconvenience experienced by the client if we are unable to finish the project within the estimated timescale so we strongly advise clients to always allow more time than they expect to need to avoid any repercussions or adverse consequences of missing any deadlines.
