Before we talk
Useful answers, without the sales script.
What kind of project is a good fit?
A business platform, booking or service marketplace, connected web and mobile application, or SaaS product with meaningful workflows and integrations. We also work with software and design agencies on a defined engineering scope.
How much does a custom build cost?
We quote after understanding the scope, integrations, operating requirements and delivery responsibilities. The proposal sets deliverables and payment milestones. There are no published build prices.
Do we need discovery first?
Only where it will resolve uncertainty. A clear, bounded project can move straight to a proposal. Discovery is scoped separately; it does not automatically include an MVP.
What does the first year of hosting include?
Eligible projects can include 12 months of managed hosting and business email setup within proposal-defined limits. Resources, provider, region, support, backups, mailbox allowances, start date and renewal costs must be agreed. Third-party and extra usage charges are identified separately.
Can you work with US businesses and agencies?
Yes, enquiries from US businesses and agencies are welcome. Grundlabs is operated from Schwerte, Germany. We agree communication times and working-hour overlap for the project. Deployment close to US users can be scoped where supported; we do not advertise a US office or round-the-clock service.
Will we own the code and be able to move hosting?
The published terms transfer custom work after full payment, with third-party and pre-existing components retaining their licence conditions. The proposal specifies documentation, account and infrastructure access, export and migration arrangements and any dependencies.
Are the featured products customer projects?
No. They are our own products. Their current status is stated individually; working software and public product pages are not presented as evidence of market adoption.
