Pricing and Work Orders
Charging and Invoicing Policies
All machines, tooling and hardware at Maker Garage must be maintained on a regular basis to ensure that the highest quality and precision is achieved for every finished product.
Therefore, due to the costs associated with maintaing the shop, it is necessary to charge a fee for work and services provided by our staff and/or technicians. Consulting and design assistance is provided.
Any and all materials used for projects must be purchased by the user either from the shop or outside vendors. There is also an annual minimum service charge for engineering clubs/organizations that have a high-volume usage of the machine shop. This charge assists in providing partial reimbursement for supplies, tooling, machine repairs, or any other associated maintenance.
