Fixed price (Project Based)

In this model, we offer to execute a software project at a fixed price. This model is generally followed where the project specifications are clearly defined in terms of their requirements, schedules and project path. Ideally, the client has a well-defined SRS (Software Requirement Specifications) document and has defined all other details like technology platforms, database model, software architecture and other required technical aspects. We undertake such projects with a fixed price quote and deliver them in due time with best quality.

Occasionally, a fixed-price project may require additional programming work due to change or addition in scope during the development phase. Under such circumstances, it is possible to revise the fixed-price based on the new scope of project or continue development within the scope & fixed price and then switch to another model such as hourly charges model.
