OUR FEE

OUR FEE AN ALL-INCLUSIVE MONTHLY RETAINER

No more time wasted in approving endless estimates and processing numerous invoices. The benefit of an all-inclusive retainer is that you are billed one amount monthly for a period of 6 months. With any project, the startup for the project requires intense work and there are some months following when the work required is less. With an all-inclusive retainer you have predictable budgeting, control over your costs, and enormous time-savings, as you are not approving each task on an individual basis. Everything is taken care of once per month, eliminating all the extra work for both parties.

When you work with us, we work on your behalf with a roster of outside suppliers. These are companies we have worked with for years, so you buy wholesale and based on the huge volume our company provides to them. You are also billed DIRECT by them, which means no mark-up. These include:

Renderings - we will suggest a rendering company and we will work with them to ensure all renderings are perfect from a marketing perspective prior to you even seeing them. This saves you an incredible amount of time. All renderings are billed direct to you from the selected company.

Signage – there are thousands of signage companies to choose from. Over our 35- year history, we have honed that list down to a handful that always deliver the quality and budget our clients demand. We will work with signage manufacturers to obtain estimates, detail the work and supervise the final product. You are billed direct for all signage.

Printing – we manage a roster of reliable printers who always deliver and provide a good price. Included in our services is liaising with the selected printer, obtaining stock samples, file transfer and printing proofs (often at odd hours of the night and weekends). All printing is billed direct.

For all of these services, you pay one monthly pre-set fee and it doesn’t fluctuate. An all-inclusive retainer arrangement makes it easier for all parties because you receive one invoice every month vs. several; there’s significant savings here; savings in terms of having someone match up estimates to invoices, processing time for each invoice and issuing cheques for each invoice.

The all-inclusive retainer covers all the items listed in our Grand Project Plan and Account Management sections above. Basically, all work and services handled by G. Ryan Design in-house are covered by the retainer.
