The delivery clock starts with a written Start Confirmation after the scope and fee are accepted, payment is received, all required documents and information are confirmed complete, and delivery capacity is confirmed, including the site-walk appointment when the scope includes one. We confirm capacity before requesting payment. The Start Confirmation states the start date and delivery date. Acceptance alone, invoice issuance, and payment alone do not start the clock.
Use the short inquiry form to describe the decision and deadline. We confirm fit and document requirements before you send confidential material. A mutual non-disclosure agreement is available on request.
