Database design

Database design is part of what we build under Software & SaaS Engineering. We scope the approved work in estimated hours before anything starts, then deliver working software and a walkthrough so your team can run it without us.

How it works

  1. Describe the job. Tell us what's broken or what you need built. Screenshots and links welcome.
  2. Review the estimate. See the expected hours, scope, assumptions, exclusions, and $95 service-hour value before work starts.
  3. Delivered to the approved scope. You get the agreed deliverable and a walkthrough. Report a validated scope issue within 30 days and we correct that delivered scope without deducting more credits.

Common questions

Database design: how much does it cost?

It is quoted as an hour estimate at $95 a service hour, and you see the number before any work starts. Jobs of this type on HanDI typically land at $95 to $1140. If the work comes in under the estimate you are not charged for hours nobody worked.

Database design: how long does it take?

1 to 12 hours of work is typical, scheduled once you approve the estimate. If the job turns out to need more than that, we stop and tell you what we found and what it adds before carrying on.

Database design: what do you need from me to start?

Repository access, how it is deployed today, and the behavior you want changed.
