Rush Fees: Rush fees are assessed on a case by case basis. Decisions are left solely to 36SQ, and are based on the availability of appropriate individuals to accomplish the tasks, the turnaround time required to successfully meet the client’s deadline of the project, and whether previously established priorities need to be rescheduled to meet the deadline. If you are not certain if rush fees apply, request a written estimate before your project commences. |
