Surcharges

While most times the fees are all-inclusive, there are occasions where additional charges will apply; mostly in the events that jobs have to be done within very tight timeframes, or during public holidays or other similar times of the year, or to account for third-party expenses. These surcharges are listed below. Discounts are also available and are also listed below.

 All fees quoted are per-job; including minor alterations and change requests. Surcharges and discounts apply on the base fees charged; hence, a 10% surcharge and a 10% discount will cancel each other out.
