PCB LAYOUT
One single price for the entire project
For the design of your PCB, we prepare a fixed-price quotation, defined before the work begins.
No hourly rates and no surprises: we assess the project as a whole and agree the cost of the work with the Client.
The quotation normally includes all the activities needed to arrive at the final PCB files, ready for production and assembly.
Why choose a fixed-price quotation
- Project cost defined in advance
- No hourly rate
- Greater budget control
- Minor project changes included
- Complete documentation for production and assembly
How the quotation works
1. You send us the project material
You can submit the schematic in whatever format is available, even if it was created with different CAD tools.
Please also let us know:
- PCB size and shape;
- number of layers, if already defined;
- any mechanical constraints;
- special requirements;
- any coating;
- impedance control;
- other specifications required by the project.
If some parameters are not yet defined, we can evaluate them together during the initial analysis.
2. We analyze the project and prepare the offer
Starting from the schematic, we evaluate the complexity of the PCB and the activities needed to produce it.
The quotation is based on the entire project, not on the hours spent.
The offer may include:
- PCB layout design;
- component placement and routing;
- Gerber file generation;
- Pick & Place files for assembly;
- assembly drawings and documentation;
- complete BOM (bill of materials);
- component availability check;
- indication of suppliers and manufacturers;
- component price comparison;
- notification of any obsolete components.
3. We carry out the project
Once the quotation is accepted, we proceed with the complete PCB design according to the agreed specifications.
We pay particular attention to production and assembly requirements, so that the project can be correctly transferred to the manufacturing phase.
4. We review the result together
At the end of the design phase, the PCB is submitted to the Client for any comments or changes.
Changes that do not involve substantial modifications to the schematic, shape, or size of the PCB are made at no additional cost.
This allows the project to be refined without having to continually recalculate the cost of individual activities.
5. Substantial changes
If substantial changes to the schematic, shape, or size of the PCB are needed, the related cost is assessed and agreed with the Client in advance.
No additional work is therefore carried out without first agreeing on the cost.
What you receive at the end of the project
Our goal is not simply to produce the layout, but to deliver a complete project that is ready to use for production.
The documentation may include:
Production files
- Gerber
- PCB production files
- technical documentation
Assembly files
- Pick & Place
- assembly drawings
- documentation required for assembly
Bill of materials (BOM)
- manufacturer
- supplier
- availability
- prices
- possible component obsolescence
How much does it cost to design a PCB?
The cost depends on the characteristics and complexity of the project.
We do not use a simple hourly rate: we analyze the project and prepare an overall offer, so the Client knows the cost before starting.
To get an assessment, simply send us the schematic and the information available about the PCB, at no charge to you.
