Hire dedicated developers who stay on the project.

Almost every enquiry that reaches this page is really one of two questions wearing a suit: what will this cost, and how do I know you are real. Both deserve a straight answer, so here they are in order.

What it costs, and why there is no figure on this page

There is no rate card here, and there is not one anywhere else on this site either. That is a policy rather than an oversight. A published hourly figure for engineering is either wrong for your project or padded enough to be right for all of them, and a per-seat monthly number quietly hides the only variables that move it.

Those variables are worth knowing before you compare anyone's quote. Seniority is the big one: a developer who has shipped three products in your domain and one who is competent but new are not interchangeable, whatever a spreadsheet of rates implies. Stack matters next, because supply does. Length of engagement matters, since a three-month commitment prices differently from an open-ended one. And the last variable is the one most buyers forget to ask about — whether you are directing the work yourself or we are carrying delivery risk for an outcome. Those are two different products and only one of them is a rate.

What you get instead is a written quote within 48 hours of the scoping call, naming the people, the hours, the notice period and what happens to the code if you walk away. If you need a number to put in a board paper, that document is a better one than a rate card would be, because it is about your project.

Where the team actually is

Islamabad. Second floor of F-2, near Mini Minor in Sector C, PWD Housing Society, and that is the only office there is. No New York address, no London number, no local presence page with a stock photo of a skyline — because there is no team in either country, and a mail-drop address pretending otherwise is the oldest trick in this industry. The engineers who would work on your product sit together in one room, which is most of the reason the work holds together at all.

The time-zone arithmetic follows from that and we would rather do it in public. The office runs nine to six, Monday to Friday, Pakistan Standard Time, which is UTC+5. Against London that is five in the morning to two in the afternoon, so a British team gets five hours of live overlap without anybody changing their routine. Against New York it is midnight to nine, and no arrangement of words turns that into a shared working day. What can be arranged is a shifted schedule for people on a US account — agreed in the scoping call, with the specific hours written into the contract, not promised on a landing page. Any firm that tells you its Pakistani team is simply available in American hours as standard has either not thought about it or not told its staff.

What is genuinely easier at this distance than most buyers expect: asynchronous review, because a pull request opened at six here is waiting when London opens; and continuity, because when you hire dedicated developers rather than book a project, the context stays with the same people instead of being rebuilt every engagement.
