With no monthly fees, Specifi is the most affordable engineering solution available in New Zealand. You can design as many engineering solutions as you like, at no cost - you only pay a fee when you submit your designs for Quality Assurance and final documentation.
Specifi allows you to generate fee projections so you know in advance what the costs are for your business and clients will be. Project fee projections can be generated before or after you have designed your engineering solutions, and can be calculated as wholesale prices for your business, or at retail prices for your clients to allow for your project margins.
Specifi accepts payment via credit card, or you can complete a credit application form which enables you to pay on account. All on account invoices are due 20th of the month following invoice.
