FAQ

That’s a great question, and the answer is that it really varies! We’ve started projects with everything from a basic sketch on a napkin to a detailed technical brief. Some clients prefer to have an initial chat to talk through their vision, while others send us a formal document.

To make it easier, we have a form on our website that can guide you through the key information we need.

Ultimately, the more detail you can provide about your idea, your target user, and your goals, the better we can understand your project and its feasibility.

The first step is simple: get in touch! You can either send us an email or fill out the enquiry form on our website. From there, we’ll set up an initial conversation, either over the phone or via email, to discuss your project in more detail.

Our team has experience across a huge range of different sectors, so chances are we can help. The best way to find out for sure is to have an initial, no-obligation conversation with us. We can quickly discuss the feasibility of your idea and let you know if we’re the right fit for your project.

Absolutely. We treat client confidentiality with the utmost importance, and signing a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is a very common part of our process. We are happy to review and sign your NDA, or we can provide you with our own standard agreement.

This is one of the most common questions we get, but the cost varies significantly depending on the size, complexity, and scope of the project. A small, straightforward project might be in the region of £2,000, while a complex product developed over a long period could be up to £200,000.
Once we know more about your specific requirements, we can have a detailed discussion about the potential costs and what you can expect for your budget.

We calculate our quotes based on the estimated number of hours required to complete the work. During our initial discussions, we’ll work with you to understand your priorities. We tailor our approach by finding the right balance between three key factors: the speed you need to move at, the quality you want to achieve, and the budget you have available.

We pride ourselves on being completely transparent, so every deliverable and all associated costs are clearly outlined in the quote you receive. You’ll know exactly what’s included before we begin any work.

We charge for our services on an hourly basis. This provides the most flexibility and ensures that you only pay for the time actively spent developing your product.

We’re typically quite fast. The timeline depends on the complexity of your project and how much information you can provide, but we can usually turn around a detailed quote and proposal anywhere from one to a few days after our initial conversation.

This really depends on the project. The journey from a simple idea to a market-ready product can range from a few days for a very simple design task to over a year for a highly complex electronic device. We’ll provide a projected timeline in our initial proposal so you have a clear idea of the timescale.

Yes. One of our key strengths is our lean and agile structure, which allows us to adapt and work quickly. We thrive when working under pressure and are very experienced in handling projects with tight deadlines.

You’ll be working with our core in-house team. We believe in a collaborative approach, ensuring the right experts are involved at every stage. While we do as much as we can internally, we also have a trusted network of specialist suppliers (for things like custom electronics or specific manufacturing processes) that we can call upon when needed.

  • Consumer Electronics
  • Medical & Scientific
