Transparent rates

C#/.NET/VBA rates

No surprises, no hidden fees. All prices are shown exclusive of VAT, which is charged where applicable. Scope is agreed in writing upfront with a formal estimate before work begins.

How it works

Rate structure

Code Reviews & Consulting

£100/hour ex VAT

For focused, well-scoped work: code reviews, architecture advice, bug investigation, or short-term consulting. Clear deliverables and written findings before you're charged.

Project Delivery

£500/day ex VAT

For sustained development, larger projects, and multi-week engagements. Delivers defined deliverables with regular checkpoints. Better value than hourly for ongoing work—I'm focused on outcomes, not padding time.

Long-Term Projects

Negotiable

Anything beyond 6 months is open to negotiation. I may discuss reduced rates, retainers, or alternative structures based on your specific needs and commitment.

Out of Hours Support

£160/hour ex VAT

Critical issues outside standard working hours (before 9am, after 5pm, weekends, or holidays). Available on request with a minimum of 2 working days' notice. Minimum engagement 1 hour for resolution and handover.

Why these rates

Industry Expertise

I bring years of business-domain knowledge to every project. I understand your industry's context, compliance requirements, and operational challenges. That means faster delivery, fewer false starts, and solutions that fit your actual business needs—not generic code.

Proven Code Quality

  • Every line thoroughly unit-tested and rigorously reviewed for robustness
  • Clean, maintainable architecture you can extend with confidence
  • Performance-first approach that scales with your growth
  • Defensive coding practices that reduce production incidents
  • Comprehensive documentation so your team isn't locked in

Lower Total Cost of Ownership

Quality code costs more upfront but saves significantly over time. You spend less on support, debugging, and rewrites. The 30-day defect warranty and knowledge transfer mean you own the solution outright, reducing ongoing consulting costs and technical debt.

My approach

How scope is defined

No two projects are identical. After an initial discovery call, I provide a written estimate that covers:

  • Scope: What you're getting and what's out of scope
  • Deliverables: Specific outputs and acceptance criteria
  • Timeline: Realistic dates and milestones
  • Fee: Total cost with clear breakdown
  • Terms: Payment schedule and any conditions

Everything is confirmed in writing before development starts. If scope changes during the engagement, I discuss impact and adjust the estimate accordingly.
