cost at a project. Planning the work, cost estimating, and billing
in
several phases permits Creative Intuition or AmerElite Solutions

for such revisions/or halt work before completion if a project is
postponed or canceled. Any canceled project Is billed only through
phases
and/or portions of phases that were actually completed by Creative
Intuition. For each project, AmerElite Solutions will receive a
proposal/estimate outlining the project specification and our proposed
scope of services and working/billing phases. Each proposal estimate
will
contain a project budget, which includes estimated fees for professional
services and separate itemized costs for anticipated out-of-pocket
expenses.
