How we protect your investment

Every project is backed by contracts, milestones, and guarantees — all in writing before we start. Here's exactly what you get.

📝

Written contract on every project

Full MSA with scope, timeline, deliverables, and acceptance criteria. No ambiguity. You know exactly what you're getting before we start.

💰

Milestone-based payments

You pay as we deliver. 50% upfront to start, then payments tied to tangible milestones. You never pay for work that hasn't been done.

🔒

Full IP assignment

On final payment, you own 100% of everything we built. Code, designs, documentation — all of it. Transferred in writing.

🛡️

30-day defect warranty

If something breaks within 30 days of delivery that should have worked per the agreed spec, we fix it at no charge. No arguments.

🚫

Cancellation protection

If you need to cancel mid-project, you pay for completed work plus a 50% kill fee on the remainder. We deliver all work-to-date within 7 days.

🔐

NDA & confidentiality

Every project is covered by mutual NDA. Your idea, your data, your business strategy — none of it leaves our team. Ever.

"We needed an iOS automation system built fast and done right. Assembly HQ scoped it in 48 hours, delivered ahead of schedule, and the system has been rock-solid."

— Automation client, UK

"I'd tried two other agencies before. Both over-promised and under-delivered. Assembly HQ was the opposite — conservative estimate, then delivered more than I asked for."

— Marketplace founder, EU

Common questions

Who actually does the work?

+

We maintain a vetted network of specialist developers across Europe. Every project is matched to the right person based on tech stack and domain. You deal with us — we manage the builder.

What if I'm not happy with the result?

+

Every milestone has an acceptance step. You review, approve, or request changes before we move on. If the final delivery doesn't match the agreed spec, we fix it under warranty at no cost.

Can I talk to the developer directly?

+

Your primary contact is always your Assembly HQ project lead. For technical discussions, we can arrange direct dev calls — but project management stays with us so nothing falls through the cracks.

How do you handle scope changes?

+

Through written Change Orders. If you want to add something mid-project, we scope it, price it, and get your sign-off before any additional work begins. No surprise invoices.

Do you work with startups or just established companies?

+

Both. Our Sprint tier is designed specifically for startups and solo founders who need an MVP built fast and clean. We've worked with pre-revenue founders and established businesses alike.

What's your tech stack?

+

We're stack-agnostic. Our network covers React, Next.js, Node, Python, Swift, Kotlin, Go, Rust, and more. We match the stack to the project — not the other way around.
