The real cost of a cheap rebuild

Sam Whitaker·Principal Engineer·5 min

We're often called in to rescue a rebuild that came in under budget and over its head.

Cheap has a long tail

Cheap usually means junior, and junior means learning on your project — decisions that look fine now and cost you for years in maintenance, downtime and rework.

What to look for instead

  • Who exactly writes your code, and how senior are they?
  • Can they show you their testing, security and accessibility practice — not just screenshots?
  • Do they tell you what not to build?

    • Senior engineering costs more per day and less per outcome. That's the trade we'd make every time — and the one we'd advise you to make too.

    Ready when you are
