8. How long does it take to complete a project?

That depends on the complexity and level of detail required. Please call for a estimate.

9. How long do you keep completed projects?

All projects are done on a one-time delivery basis only. We do back-up and archive our work where feasible and have recovered projects as old as five years, but we do not guarantee the availability of a project or its required data to be available after the initial delivery.
