How a build runs

15 min · free
Consult
We talk through the problem, the people who'll use the tool, and what "done" looks like. No charge and no obligation.
- 02
A few days
Scope & estimate
You get a written plan: what gets built, in what order, and a price range. Nothing starts until you've agreed to it.
- 03
Weeks, not months
Build in the open
Work ships in small working pieces you can click through, with regular check-ins. Feedback lands in the next round instead of at the end.
- 04
Final week
Handoff & docs
Deployment, a walkthrough for your team, and a full set of handoff docs. The code, the accounts, and the keys are yours.

SYS_HANDOFF // EVERY BUILD SHIPS DOCUMENTED
YOURCODE.YOURCALL.
Handoff docs, every time
Every piece of software the lab ships comes with documentation written for the next developer: how it's built, how to run and deploy it, where the data lives, and why the big decisions went the way they did. If you ever want more work done and would rather not work with me, take the repo and the docs to any developer and they'll know the codebase on day one.

FAQ // THE USUAL QUESTIONS
Before you ask
How long does a typical project take?
It depends on scope. Automation or small internal tool: 1–2 weeks. Website or focused web app: 2–5 weeks. Custom platform (CRM, portal, wizard): 6–12 weeks. Work ships in small pieces you can click through along the way, and your written estimate pins the timeline down before anything starts.
How is project pricing structured?
Every project starts with a free 15-minute call. If it's a fit, you get a written plan with a price range before any work begins, and nothing starts until you agree to it. Projects start at $1,500. Time is tracked and itemized so you see exactly what you paid for, and there are no per-seat fees or monthly licenses: you pay for the build, then you own it.
How do we get started on a project?
Book a free 15-minute call, send a request through the contact page, or email [email protected]. Tell me what you want built or which manual workflow is eating your team's week. I read every message myself and reply within one business day.
