Frequently Asked Questions
How can a product development consulting
company help me?

Why should I hire Art-2-Part instead of other
product design companies?

How much does it cost to hire Art-2-Part?

The cost of hiring Art-2-Part varies directly with
the amount of help you need
.  You are typically
billed "time and materials," meaning you pay
by the hour as well as any material costs
associated with your particular project.  Clients
often prefer this mode of service as compared
to a fixed-price project bid since you only pay
for work actually done.  It also permits the
scope of the project to be more dynamic
without having to renegotiate a contract.

Standard hourly rates range between
$75-$125/hr, depending on the type of work
and consequently skill set of the required
staff.  Keeping project cost to a minimum is in
Art-2-Part's best interest as well as yours, so
we are always looking for ways to minimize it.  
For example, subcontractors are hired when
they are a better value than Art-2-Part's own
staff for a task.  We encourage you to do your
homework for alternatives to hiring us (doing
the project internally, full time hires, other
consultancies).  With rising health care costs
and other overheads coupled with a shortage
of experienced engineers, you'll find we
provide an excellent value.
