Our Payment Policies
How do I receive a quotation for my project?
You can send us your project drawings and scope of work for review. After assessing the project requirements, we provide a quotation outlining the services, price, and expected turnaround time.
Is an upfront payment required?
Payment requirements depend on the project size, scope, and agreed terms. Some projects may require an upfront deposit, while others may be handled through milestone-based or mutually agreed payment arrangements.
What payment methods do you accept?
We can provide available payment options during the quotation and onboarding process. The accepted payment method and payment schedule will be confirmed before the project begins.
When is the remaining balance due?
For projects involving deposits or milestone payments, the remaining balance is generally due according to the payment schedule agreed upon before work begins.
Do you offer milestone-based payments for larger projects?
Yes. For larger or long-term projects, milestone-based payment arrangements can be established so payments correspond with agreed stages or deliverables.
What happens if the project scope changes?
If the client requests additional work or changes that fall outside the original scope, we will review the additional requirements and provide an updated quotation or additional charge for approval before proceeding./div>
Are payments refundable if I cancel my project?
Refund eligibility depends on the stage of work completed and the terms agreed upon at the beginning of the project. Any completed work or committed resources may be non-refundable. Specific cancellation and refund terms will be communicated as part of the project agreement.
