Our Rates:

“Rack-Rate”

Project Work

We usually “cap” our rate for projects e.g. for several days work. Therefore our clients know what their expenses are. The project rate is negotiated and seeks to provide a “value for money” deal for the client.

First Enquiries

There are no charges for first enquiries or on-site visits (subject to distance and first project requirement assessment).
