The problem

Project costs were known at the end. Overruns were discovered after the work, when nothing could be done about them.

What we built

We accumulate committed and actual costs per project as they occur, against the budget lines, so overrun is visible while the project is running.

Why this customer is not named

Most of our customers allow the work to be described but not their name published. Where a customer has given permission, their name and testimonial appear here.

Independent accounts of our work are published by customers themselves on our Facebook reviews page.

Does this look like your problem?

If any of this is familiar, the first step is the same one this project started with: a free requirement study that ends in a written scope and a fixed price.
