Thank you for considering outsourcing options for your engineering needs. With over 5 years of experience in AEC industry, we’ve seen the profound impact that strategic outsourcing can make on a company’s efficiency, quality of work, and bottom line.
Let’s discuss the three outsourcing pricing models you’re considering and why Aidedo should be your go-to option.
Hourly Rate Model
The hourly rate model is widely popular for its adaptability and transparency. The key advantage here is the flexibility this option offers. It allows you to scale the work up or down based on project demands, ensuring you’re only paying for the actual work being done. At Aidedo, we understand the importance of transparency; that’s why we’ve set up a client portal that gives you live access to timesheets, project progress, and detailed reports. This ensures that you’re fully in control and informed about the work we’re conducting for you. Our negotiated rates are competitive, and we’re committed to delivering top-notch service without any hidden costs. This model is suitable for ongoing projects with evolving scopes and for long-term collaborations where scope is expected to change.
Fixed Price Model
The Fixed Price model is your best bet when budget certainty is crucial for your project’s initial phase. With Aidedo, we meticulously assess your project’s scope and provide a comprehensive proposal that aligns with your requirements. This method ensures your budget is set, and there are no financial surprises down the line. While this approach provides budget control, it can indeed lead to delays since any alterations in scope require renegotiation and approvals. However, Aidedo is known for prompt proposal adjustments and ensuring timely initiation of projects, minimizing any potential lag-time.
Dedicated Team Model
Having a dedicated team is like extending your in-house capabilities without the overheads of hiring and training new staff. For a fixed monthly fee, Aidedo can provide a team of seasoned professionals who will work exclusively on your projects. This method promises consistent, high-quality output and is ideal for long-term strategic partnerships. The dedicated team becomes deeply familiar with your standards and expectations, aligning closely with your internal procedures and becoming a seamless extension of your own workforce.
What is your favourite model?
Each of these models has its own set of advantages. Starting with the Fixed Price option can be excellent for building trust and understanding our quality of work without risking budget overruns. As our partnership strengthens and project scopes become more fluid, transitioning to the hourly rate method could offer the flexibility you need to manage complex projects efficiently.
At Aidedo, we don’t just offer services; we offer peace of mind. We are here to adapt to your evolving needs and are well-equipped to switch between these models to find the optimal fit for your project’s lifecycle. Over the years, we’ve honed our abilities to provide reliable, high-quality work within the necessary timeframes and budgets.
