Budgets versus Actual costs
With today’s technology we really shouldn’t be relying on ‘fingers in the air’ or ‘guesstimates’ .. so at studiodm we don’t!!
Estimating how much work might be involved in successfully delivering projects is not always easy. If we’re too high when setting our price, our quote will look uncompetitive but if we’re too low, we can end up losing money.
Neither is ideal
We think budgets are an old fashioned way to work, cumbersome and not accurate enough. So here’s what’s different when you work with us.
We only EVER charge you for what we do.
Yes we start all projects with a budget figure so we are all agreed on what the maximum expenditure will be. And yes, we strive to make sure these budgets are as accurate as possible. This ability to accurately estimate stems from years worth of data captured from similar projects.
And this capture of all the time we expend on projects also allows us to provide accurate final bills to our clients – not rounded up estimates.
So here’s our three point promise;
We’ll agree a budget with you – which we won’t exceed.
The budget is set in stone unless the brief changes
And when the job is finished you’ll only pay for the work we’ve done.
