How we work

There are just a few basic questions that we will ask when you contact us about your mapping project.

1) Who is the intended audience? - this affects the complexity of the design

2) Is the product for inhouse private use or intended to be available to the public? - this can affect
    issues relating to copyright

3) Will you be selling the product or giving it away?

4) What area do you want mapped? What are the limits in the northern, southern, eastern and western directions?

5) What do want mapped? Roads, rivers, coastline, railways, major towns, small towns etc etc?

6) What style should the map use? Full colour or black and white? Have you seen a style that you like?

7) If the map is to be printed, at what size? Do you want us to organise the printing? How many copies?

8) If the map is to be supplied in an electronic format, which format best suits?

9) When do you want the product completed?

Once you have this information, contact us by phone (3891 3881) or email and we can discuss it with you. As soon as we are clear on what the task is, we will provide a written quote and an expectation of first draft delivery. Should you accept the quote then we require an order in writing (usually by return email). First draft is normally an Acrobat file (pdf) delivered by email. You can approve the draft or make some changes. Normally, once the final map is agreed upon we will deliver the final product with our invoice for the work done. Your files are kept here in our archive system should you wish to reuse them at a future date.
