Fixed price.
Agreed before work starts.

BespokeForge does not quote until the problem is properly understood. Every engagement is scoped at a fixed price before work begins. No hourly billing. No surprise invoices. 50% to start, the balance on delivery. Only three clients are taken on at a time, so availability is limited. If your timing matters, start the conversation early.

Cost Context

Less than the cost of one in-house hire. More than the output of three.

A single senior engineer in Europe typically costs somewhere in the region of €6,000 to €9,000 a month once you count salary, employer taxes, tools, and management. That buys one person, in one discipline. BespokeForge gives you senior engineering across all four, infrastructure, web, data, and automation, for less than that one hire, with no recruitment, no overhead, and no ramp-up.

A free call first. Then the audit.

Every engagement begins with a free 45-minute diagnostic call. You describe the situation, you get a straight answer and practical pointers, and there is no invoice for it. Before any build or retainer, BespokeForge then runs a fixed-fee audit: a documented assessment of what you have, what is at risk, and what to do about it, in priority order. It is the diagnosis that makes a fixed build price possible, the fee is credited in full toward the work, and the findings are yours to keep either way.

€250 one-time, fixed

Credited in full toward your build if you proceed.

Build Engagements

Build engagements.

One-time builds, scoped after the diagnostic and delivered against milestones. Every Build is designed so the Operate retainer is the natural next step: the documentation exists, the runbooks exist, and the engineer already knows the system.

Common Questions

Straight answers. No pitch.

Because your business is not fixed. Every engagement starts with a free diagnostic call, and every build or retainer is then scoped through a paid audit, credited in full toward the work. The fixed quote comes out of what the audit finds. The prices shown are starting points, not packages.
BespokeForge maps exactly what needs to be built, how long it will take, and what it will cost, before any work starts. You receive a written scope document with a fixed price. No surprises. No scope creep billed as extras.
Small changes are absorbed. Significant scope changes are re-scoped with a new fixed price before work continues. BespokeForge does not invoice for extras silently.
50% upfront, 50% on delivery. For larger engagements, milestone-based schedules can be discussed. Retainers are billed monthly in advance.
Yes. BespokeForge works with clients across Europe and Africa. Pricing is quoted in Euro and the payment currency is agreed during the diagnostic.
