Quote Formula
Flat project quotes use the estimated hours multiplied by the target tier rate, plus a 20% scope buffer.
Consulting
Custom quoted work for projects that need discovery first.
Consulting is useful for infrastructure, self-hosting, programming, migrations, security systems, and operational planning where the scope is not yet clear.
Milestone Pricing
Commercial infrastructure deployments are quoted per milestone, endpoint, hardware dependency, downtime window, and documentation requirement.
Good Fit Projects
Network and VLAN setup, Active Directory, Microsoft 365, server and NAS migrations, Docker or Compose services, programming projects, email authentication, cameras, access control, and after-hours changes.
Discovery First
Custom work starts by defining scope, risks, access needs, hardware assumptions, and success criteria before quoting the implementation.
Consulting Packages
Consulting packages start with discovery, then move into a written scope with milestones and acceptance criteria.
Infrastructure Assessment
Review current network, server, storage, backup, Active Directory, Microsoft 365, remote access, and documentation health, then deliver prioritized findings and practical next steps.
Migration Planning
Plan server, storage, Microsoft 365, directory, email, access control, or network changes with risk notes, rollback points, after-hours windows, and stakeholder handoff steps. Keeping the current infrastructure is a valid outcome.
Technology Roadmap
Map networks, self-hosted services, cameras, access control, wireless coverage, and operational needs into a practical plan.
Implementation Oversight
Support vendor coordination, milestone review, testing, documentation, and technical decision-making for projects that need an owner-side IT voice.
Start with the outcome.
Send the target system, current pain, timeline, site constraints, and whether work must happen after hours.
