How much does this type of project cost?

1. How many hours will you spend on this project? Will you be shouldering the development costs or will they provide you with the facilities to develop and test this application?

2. Do you have to purchase anything for testing or R&D for this project?

3. How do you foresee maintenance and upgrades for this project?

4. When all's said and done and you've finished your calculations, it may be wise to add a 10% contingency fund.
