How it works
Initial Meeting
- We start with a conversation to understand your needs, business goals, and overall vision for the project. This is the stage where we learn what you want to achieve and how the software can help you do it.
Analysis
After the initial meeting, we thoroughly analyze your requirements. We gather detailed information and examine the business and technical context to fully understand the project's complexity and potential challenges.
Preliminary Estimate
Based on the collected data, we prepare an initial estimation of the project. This gives you a general idea of the costs and timeline so that you can assess the profitability of the investment before making further decisions.
Workshops and Scope Definition
This is a crucial stage where we conduct workshops with you. The goal is to precisely define the project scope, remove any ambiguities, and establish the detailed functionalities that will be included in the software. This ensures both parties have a clear understanding of what will be delivered.
Final Valuation
After thoroughly refining the scope, we prepare the final, detailed project valuation. This is based on precisely defined requirements, which minimizes the risk of unforeseen costs and ensures full transparency.
Project Start
Once the final valuation and scope are accepted, we begin work on the project. Our team proceeds with implementation, regularly communicating about the progress and ensuring the high quality of the delivered solution.
Why Choose Us?
Our goal is to become world’s most effective software development agency.

FAQ
Below, we answer some common questions about our fixed price custom software development services.
What's the real difference between fixed price and time & material contracts?
Fixed price contracts demand precision from day one. We both agree on exactly what you'll get, when you'll get it, and how much you'll pay - all before we write a single line of code. The financial risk sits entirely on our shoulders.
Time and material contracts flip this dynamic completely. You pay for every hour we work and every resource we use, which opens possibilities for project experimentation and better product market fit.
The fundamental difference comes down to risk ownership. Fixed price puts us on the hook for delivering results within budget. Time and material puts you on the hook for paying whatever it takes to get there.
How detailed should your requirements be for a fixed price project?
Requirements should be extremely detailed, covering:
- Every specific functionality you need
- Design elements and user interface details
- Performance expectations and benchmarks
- Acceptance criteria for each feature
Of course, we work with you to define the requirements. Think of it as writing a blueprint that leaves no room for interpretation. The more comprehensive your requirements, the more precise our pricing becomes. This level of detail protects both of us by eliminating guesswork and reducing the risk of disputes.
How do we handle changes to your project requirements?
When you need to modify the original project requirements, we follow a structured change request process. Every change gets documented, priced separately, and may impact your project budget. Having a clear change management procedure in your contract is essential. Without it, scope creep becomes a budget killer. With it, you know exactly what each change costs and how it affects your delivery date.
Is fixed price always more expensive than time and material?
Not necessarily. For well-defined projects with minimal uncertainty, fixed price can be more cost-effective. When we know exactly what we're building, we can price it accurately without padding for unknowns.
How can I ensure quality in a fixed price project?
Define clear quality standards and acceptance criteria in your contract. Include regular review points and testing procedures. Don't wait until the end to discover quality issues. Regular checkpoints catch problems early when they're still fixable. Consider breaking the project into smaller milestones tied to quality-based acceptance. This keeps quality front-and-center throughout development.
When should I avoid a fixed price model?
Fixed price may not be suitable for projects with evolving requirements, innovative solutions where the path forward is unclear, or situations where extensive client collaboration and flexibility are needed throughout development. Contact us if you’re not sure what would be best for your project.
