FAQ

You won’t be surprised by it. We track every project’s budget continuously and flag it the moment spend trends toward the limit – well before it becomes a problem – so the conversation happens early, with options, not after the fact. What happens next depends on how the project is priced:

• Fixed-Price projects – the price we agreed is the price you pay. If work runs longer than we estimated for the scope we quoted, that’s on us, not you. Costs only change if you change or expand the scope, and we’ll always agree any change in writing before we proceed.
• Time & Materials projects – you get regular budget updates as work progresses, so there are no hidden overruns. As we approach the agreed budget, we pause and decide together: extend it, re-prioritise what’s left, or wrap up at the cap. Nothing beyond the budget gets billed without your sign-off first.

Either way, the principle is the same: you stay in control of what you spend, and we never bill you for more than you’ve agreed to.

Yes, absolutely. We don’t expect a clean slate – most real projects aren’t one.
We’ve taken over and continued legacy systems built by other teams, and we’re comfortable working within an existing codebase, stack, or set of tools rather than insisting on rebuilding from scratch. Our first step is always to understand what’s there: how it works, what’s solid, and what needs attention. From there we plan the safest way to continue or improve it without breaking what’s already running.
