Frequently asked questions

Why add a contingency buffer?

Projects almost always run longer than planned. A 10–20% buffer protects your rate against scope creep and revisions.

Can I send this to a client?

Yes — download it as a PDF and email it, or use it to build a fixed-price proposal.

Fixed price or hourly?

Use the estimate to set a confident fixed price, or to sanity-check an hourly cap.
