How our IT consulting rates work
Our IT consulting rates are billed by the hour, and the rate depends on the type of work and whether it is done on site or remotely. For example, a remote network fix is billed at the remote network rate, while an on-site firewall installation is billed at the on-site rate. As a result, you know which rate applies before we start.
