How long does it take for you to evaluate a project?
Generally we can turn around an evaluation in two weeks. This does depend on the size of the project and the project being well specified and your people being available.
On acceptance and sign off of a fixed price proposal we expect 40% payment at which point ELMG will begin work. For an hourly, daily or weekly based ongoing open ended arrangement ELMG will begin work when payment in advance for the first month's expected billing is received along with a deposit of one further month's expected billing.
ELMG requires each client to open a credit account and to supply satisfactory credit references. ELMG will cease all work if outstanding amounts are not paid in a timely manner.
What information do you need before you can develop a product for us?
If possible a product functional specification, product volume targets, product price points, target customer types, target geographic market, specific compliance requirements, shipping dates and your discount rate. However we realise that you may not have all this information. You may need some help with the product specification and ELMG can help with any and all of the the other information as well.

Customer Comments
"ELMG's competitive advantage comes from its main asset, its principal engineers.
Your vision is extraordinary. You offer your customers far more than an electronic design and development service. The people who make use of your business and market knowledge, utilising your national and international contacts, would be your most satisfied customers. My main regret is that I cannot utilise you to your full potential.
Value that you have provided for the company includes:
Staff training to the highest level for all departments.
Introduction of required processes.
The ability for a whole engineering department to view marketing more objectively.
An exceptionally well researched and thought out design solution.
A repeatable testing and qualification process for your design.
This product would not be half of what it is without your involvement.
It is immediately obvious you care about what you do as well as who you work for.
If the product becomes a success it will be largely because of your involvement.
I believe ELMG’s key competitive advantage is your business and market knowledge you apply to your design and development solutions"
Medium Voltage Engineer, New Zealand.
“At the time I needed the first work done I contacted you and one other company and considered that you had the skill set I needed. The other company had the programming skills but I felt that you would give me more than that.
I felt very uncertain about the skill set I had in-house and I needed to get a handle on that as well as get the immediate problem of the code repair done. I felt that you could at least help me evaluate that skill set, and perhaps be able to supply more varied resources if I really did have skills missing.”
