How do I know the services that you provide will be right?
Answer: Surfaces & Curves makes no claim that the services provided are free from errors. However, two iterations are allowed from the original work package (this doesn’t include Engineering Change Orders). The goal is to get that First Article Inspection passed and moving forward.
Why don't you accept work from outside the United States?
Answer: Some laws are very strict about import/export regulations, so a decision has been made not to export any services outside the jurisdiction of the United States.
Are you ISO 9001:2015 registered?
Answer: Surfaces & Curves is not registered ISO 9001:2015, but there is an ongoing effort toward that implementation.
How much do you charge?
Answer: Generally, complexity of the project dictates the rate. More complex work requires more expensive software and expertise. Surfaces & Curves will provide a fixed quote for your project that will include a breakdown of services.
How do I know my data will be treated confidentially?
Answer: All customer data is treated as sensitive/confidential information. Surfaces & Curves utilizes a firewall to protect its network and secure communication protocols are used when conducting business. If information needs to be disclosed to a third party, permission will be sought through a NDA (Non-Disclosure-Agreement). Additionally, customer data will only be disclosed on a need-to-know basis.
