Buy the Phase, Not the wage bill
Experienced design management support for a defined stage of your project — one agreed scope, one fixed fee, no open-ended salary cost. When the phase is complete, the engagement ends cleanly.
Four Steps From Enquiry to Delivery
-
Step 1
Scope
We discuss your project phase, define the deliverables, and agree on a clear scope of work with no ambiguity.
-
Step 2
Quote
You receive a fixed-fee proposal covering the agreed scope. No hourly rates, no open-ended billing, no surprises.
-
Step 3
Deliver
We mobilise quickly and deliver against the agreed milestones, reporting progress and managing the work through to completion.
-
Step 4
Close
When the phase is done, the engagement ends cleanly. Continue into the next phase, move to a retainer, or step away — your call.

Why Builders Choose Fixed-Fee Over Hiring
A permanent hire carries salary, superannuation, leave, overheads, and utilisation risk when the pipeline slows. A fixed-fee package gives you the same senior capability for a defined cost — and the engagement ends when the work is done.
-
Capped Cost
One agreed fee for the entire phase. No hourly blowouts, no open-ended billing.
-
Defined Scope
Deliverables are agreed upfront. You know exactly what you are getting before the engagement starts.
-
Clean Off-Ramp
When the phase is complete, the engagement ends. No notice period, no redundancy, no awkward conversations.
-
Flexible Continuation
If you need the next phase covered, we scope it separately. If not, you walk away with no obligation.
Who Fixed-Fee Packages Are Built For
Single-Phase Projects
Builders who need experienced support for one defined stage — DA, CC, tender, or OC — without committing to a broader engagement.
Budget-Controlled Engagements
Builders who need cost certainty and want to know the total spend before the work begins, with no risk of hourly overruns.
First-Time Engagements
Builders working with us for the first time who want to test the value on a contained scope before considering a broader retainer.
30-Day Performance Guarantee
We back our service commercially. If, within the first 30 days, we have not delivered value in line with the agreed scope, we will step away and waive our fee for that period.
That gives builders a low-risk way to engage senior support without a long commitment.
Tied to agreed scope, agreed reporting, and agreed deliverables.
