The Planning Phase involves a detailed discussion to identify your goals, and includes a site suitability assessment discussion (Video Call). During the Planning Phase you will be interviewed through a set of guided discussions. We work to completely understand your goals and identify all your custom requirements.
The Planning Phase is a highly personalized one on one process and can be very time intensive. The cost for the Planning Phase is $2,000 USD non refundable retainer invoiced through PayPal.
At the end of the Planning Phase, you will be provided
A detailed cost estimate to begin the PPCID Phase.
Summary of site suitability plus a list of recommended infrastructure upgrades
Detailed parts list broken down by company/type
Detailed summary of any required custom fabricated part(s)
Planning offers a great clean break if you need to scale back, scale up, or have changed your mind.
P.P.C.I.D Phase - What Can I Expect?
Production, Procurement, Contracting, Importing and Delivery
The PPCID Phase sets purchase and custom work in motion. This includes any additional conversations, and services required before the On-Site Installation Phase. The cost will scale from zero for simple orders and will grow with the complexity of the request. The fee will be fair and part of the invoice. PPCID will need to be agreed to and approved by the customer. Once approved, the PPCID invoice is paid, and procurement begins.
During the PPCID Phase, all aspects of delivery and preparation are addressed. The PPCID Phase can include an in-person site survey at your request in lieu of video calls. We then operate to consolidate every component on site. We can also conduct remote video calls with your local contractors if needed to help you prepare the site during the PPCID Phase.
By the end of the PPCID Phase, you will have received:
Work with contractors to ensure infrastructure work had been completed;
You will be ready to perform your own setup, or continue to On-Site Installation Phase;
Customer receives timely relevant updates throughout PPCID;
Customer receives a 24 hour warning prior to shipments arriving;
We will maintain a detailed live ledger of all parts and their delivery status;
Finally, a detailed video call to confirm inventory. (validating that all parts have arrived)

During phase three, the install team will arrive the day before, secure lodging, transportation and contact you to let you know that we will be ready to begin the next day. It involves my team of two or more, on site and remaining for two or more days as required to complete the build.
