Estimate to milestones
Priced live from the rate card.
Our estimator turns a project into a range. This demo shows the next step: how that range is paid, milestone by milestone, and how long each part takes.

// how it works
The same engine as the estimator.
- Every figure comes from our estimator's engine and the rate card in force, run in your browser. Nothing is typed in by hand.
- The deposit depends on the build price: a larger share of a small project, a smaller share of a large one.
- What remains, less the holdback, is split across milestones that suit the kind of project.
- The last 10% is due 30 days after launch, once the warranty period has ended with no open defects.
