How It Works
Clear scope first. Then the work.
Every engagement follows the same simple pattern, so you know what you are getting, when, and for what price before substantial work begins.
01The process
Four stages.
- 01
Tell us the problem
Describe the job, the problem or the project. Drawings, photos and a short explanation are usually enough to start the conversation.
- 02
Scope the work
KEVOS defines the scope, deliverables, assumptions, timing and commercial terms in writing before substantial work begins.
- 03
Complete the engineering work
The agreed work is carried out, with check-ins at sensible points so questions are answered early rather than at the end.
- 04
Deliver and close out
Deliverables are handed over in agreed formats, questions are answered and the work is closed out cleanly.
02Before work begins
What KEVOS defines up front.
After the first discussion, these are confirmed in writing before substantial work starts. Nothing significant should come as a surprise.
- Scope
- What is included, and just as importantly, what is not.
- Deliverables
- The drawings, documents, models or plans you will receive, and in what formats.
- Assumptions
- The information, access and decisions the work depends on.
- Timing
- When the work will start, key check-in points and the expected completion.
- Commercial terms
- The price or rate, how changes are handled and how invoicing works for that assignment.
03Ways to engage
Pricing that suits the job.
Fixed-price proposals
Encouraged for suitable small assignments with a clear scope and defined deliverables.
Staged discovery
For problems that are not yet well defined: a short first stage clarifies the problem before the main work is quoted.
Day rate or time-based work
For flexible or evolving tasks where the scope is hard to fix in advance.
Monthly support
Ongoing engineering and documentation support on an agreed monthly arrangement.
For suitable small assignments, a fixed-price proposal is usually the simplest option. Where the problem is not yet clear, a short discovery stage avoids paying for the wrong solution. Payment terms are agreed for each assignment as part of the proposal. Pricing is indicative only and depends on scope, complexity, site requirements and deliverables. GST applies where applicable.

What to send with an enquiry.
None of this is essential to start. A short description is enough, and KEVOS can help define the scope. Please only share information you are permitted to share.
- A short description of the problem or project and what “done” looks like
- Existing drawings, models, photos or documents, if you have them
- Any deadlines, constraints or site requirements
- Whether a site visit is likely to be needed
- Who will make decisions and be the main contact
