No ambiguity, no surprises. Every Conetiq project runs through the same four-stage process — defined upfront, delivered on time, documented properly. Here's exactly what happens when you work with us.
We start with a deep-dive into your goals, constraints, and timelines. We ask the questions that uncover what actually needs solving — not just what's been described. Then we define deliverables in writing before a single line of CAD gets drawn.
Rapid sketches and low-fidelity concepts developed and reviewed together. We stress-test ideas early — before they cost anything — using engineering first principles and your real-world requirements. The goal is to agree on direction before committing to full CAD.
Full 3D CAD development, tolerancing, material selection, and component sourcing. Every part is designed for how it will actually be made — wall thickness, draft angles, weld access, fastener strategy, and assembly sequence are all considered from day one, not retrofitted at the end.
Production-ready drawing packages, supplier liaison, and post-delivery support. We don't hand over files and disappear. We stay engaged through first articles and production runs — because what gets built has to match what was designed, and that requires someone who knows both.
1–3 days. Written scope issued before any work begins.
3–7 days. 2–3 directions explored and reviewed together.
1–4 weeks. Full 3D model, drawings, BOM.
Ongoing. Supplier support and first article review.
Fixed-fee, project-based pricing. We scope the work, define the deliverables, and give you a number before anything starts. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices. If the scope changes, we discuss it and agree a new fee — you're never billed for something you didn't know was coming.
That's fine — most projects start that way. The Discovery phase is specifically designed for rough ideas. We'll ask the right questions to get clarity, and the Concept phase will show you what's possible before you commit to anything. You don't need to have it figured out to get started.
We design to be manufactured, and we produce documentation a factory can actually use. We can also liaise directly with your suppliers to answer technical questions and review first articles. If you need help finding a fabricator or manufacturer, we can point you in the right direction.
It depends on complexity. A straightforward component redesign might be 2 weeks start to finish. A full POP fixture system for a national rollout could be 6–8 weeks. We'll give you a realistic timeline in the scope document — and we stick to it.
You do. Once a project is paid in full, all CAD files, drawings, and documentation belong to you. No licensing fees, no strings attached. You can take them to any manufacturer or supplier you choose.
We deliver in industry-standard formats (STEP, IGES, PDF drawings) that work with any CAD system. If you have a specific format requirement, let us know in Discovery and we'll accommodate it.
Share where you're stuck — concept, detail, or prototype — and Conetiq will help you close the gap to something you can actually build and sell.
