Terms of agreement

All appointments included in your support tier (e.g. monthly planning calls and bi-weekly check-ins) will be pre-booked at the outset so that diaries can be managed and expectations set. Any additional service support time required will be charged at £75 per hour. No additional charges will be made without your express agreement. All service fees are charged monthly in advance, with the goal, plan and tasks for each 10-week block agreed with you in advance. The fee covers the business planning and consultant time for your project requirement and follow up. Most day-to-day tasks remain with you or your business unless you request us to undertake administration tasks on your behalf. SOL Design Collective provides support and ensures you are answerable to an agreed timeline and that there is a follow up and review process in place. This is in line with fundamental project management principles.
