Assistance

A Analytic offers assistance on terms that best fit your needs. Three alternatives are: Project, Hourly and Retainer.

Project - This option is recommended for a specific, clearly defined analysis and/or design objective. The engineering parameters are defined and the completion date & cost are negotiated prior to beginning the project. Project Examples.

Hourly - This option is recommended for performing an engineering analysis and/or design that is not well defined, but the type and amount of work does not warrant the need for ongoing engineering assistance. Hourly Examples.

Retainer - This option is recommended when you need mechanical engineering assistance on an ongoing basis, yet your needs do not warrant employing one full time. There are several advantages to choosing the retainer option, even if it is for as few as 20 hours per month. For one, product development is an iterative process, where optimum design, materials and manufacturing methods are rarely achieved all at one time. With the retainer option, you'll have guaranteed monthly access to a register professional engineer to help you make these decisions as they arise. Secondly, by engaging professional services over an extended time, the engineer will be better able to bring his knowledge to bear towards meeting your needs. And third, in that being on a retainer allows the engineer to work in this manor, a discount off the regular hourly rate is offered.

In that we perform analyses on products from a number of different industries, we may not always be aware of the design codes and standards required for a particular product. Therefore, it is the client's responsibility to be aware of the codes and standards to which his product must conform. Upon request, we can assist in evaluating whether a product conforms to a given code or standard.
