Balance Quality and Budget with Saigon Technology

This long-term global work has strengthened our technical expertise, English communication, and understanding of Western business expectations, ensuring a smooth, professional collaboration from day one.
- Our project management team brings deep experience across Agile MVP development and full-cycle software delivery in healthcare, fintech, logistics, and other business sectors. They provide strategic guidance, help you assess risks early, and keep the project on track with clear performance commitments.ย
Approaches within the Fixed Price Model
Fixed Scope, Fixed Budget
This is the most common model. All requirements, deliverables, timelines, and milestones are defined before the work starts.
Best for: Projects with clear specifications, few changes, and strict budgets.
Discovery to Fixed Price
If your project is not well-defined, we need to start with a short Discovery Phase. After clarifying the scope, our team sets a final fixed price for development.
Best for: MVPs, new product ideas, or complex systems that require initial research.
Milestone-Based Fixed Price
We divide the project into smaller phases. Each phrase has a fixed price and deliverables. You just pay only when our team achieves each milestone.
Best for: Larger or long-term projects that need predictable checkpoints and tight budget control.
Fixed Price with Change Control
The main scope stays fixed, but you can add new features through a change-request process.
Best for: Companies that want predictability while still maintaining some flexibility.

How does the Fixed price model differ from models like Time & Materials or Dedicated Team?
Unlike Time & Materials (pay by the hour) or a Dedicated Team (manage long-term resources), the Fixed Price Model gives you complete certainty over cost and timeline. At Saigon Technology, we define your project scope, milestones, and deliverables upfront. So, you always know the process, the deadlines, and the exact cost. No surprises, no hidden fees!ย ย
What type of projects work best under the Fixed Price Model?
The Fixed Price Model works best for projects with well-defined requirements, such as:
- MVPs (Minimum Viable Products)
- Corporate systems or enterprise software
- Web and mobile applications
- Platform modernization projects
If you outline the success metrics from the start, this model helps deliver the project on time and keeps everything clear. Businesses can focus on growing without worrying about unexpected costs.
How does Saigon Technology estimate a fixed price for my project?
We start with a Discovery Phase. Our Project Manager and Business Analyst work with you to:
- Understand your requirements and business goals
- Analyze technical complexity and resource needs
- Build a detailed roadmap with milestones and deliverables
When the scope and timeline are agreed, we provide a fixed-price proposal (typically starting from around $8,000) depending on project complexity. After approval, the price is locked and divided into milestone-based payments.
What happens if I want to change the scope during development?
No problem! If you need to add features or adjust requirements, we handle them as separate change requests or mini-projects. This way, your original timeline and budget stay intact, while still giving you the flexibility to adjust your product as your needs change.
How does Saigon Technology ensure my project stays on budget and schedule?
We work milestone by milestone, with clear deliverables, demo reviews, and weekly updates. Your Project Manager keeps everything on track by using tools like Jira, Slack, and Zoom. That means you get full visibility and on-time delivery, every step of the way.
How do you ensure project quality?
Quality is the most important at every stage. We use a multi-layered QA approach:
- Manual and automated testing at every milestone
- Continuous integration and code reviews
- Regular demos so you can give feedback early
All work follows ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 standards, so you get software thatโs stable, secure, and performs exactly as expected.
Does Saigon Technology provide warranty and support after delivery?
Yes! Every Fixed Price project comes with a warranty period to fix any post-launch issues at no extra cost. Saigon Technology offers maintenance and support packages, from updates to new feature development. This service keeps your software secure, optimized, and ready for future growth.
