Working with Chris Perry Design – your checklist
We have calculated the estimate fee based on our understanding of your project, and of the time and resources required to deliver a brilliant result. Following are some factors from our experience that may influence the final cost outcome.
Images and copy
Where possible, ensure that all images and copy (text) submitted to us are final and have been approved by the relevant parties. In some cases, just a few extra words can necessitate extensive changes to a layout or minor image adjustments which result in more time by us and cost to you.
Timelines and deadlines
Before commencing a project, be as definite as you can about its timing. In cases where you change a project deadline, it may be necessary for us to re-schedule work for other clients and/or work overtime in order to accomodate you. In these instances, extra fees may apply.
Decision-making
We ask that you appoint someone within your organisation to be the final decision-maker. Especially on projects with tight deadlines, it is essential for us to know that we can approach one person for approvals, etc, so we can keep the ball rolling.
Deviations of direction
If any deviation to an agreed progressive direction is requested by you our estimate may need to be revised. You will be advised at the time of request.
Proof checking
Whilst every care will be taken, no responsibility will be accepted by Chris Perry Design for errors found after final proof check by you the client.
