How It Works
- COG members looking for expert advice on a project should submit a consultation request, detailing the issue.
- TVCOG staff will then review your request and match you with a consultant who has experience in the appropriate field.
- We will provide you with a detailed estimate of the pricing and services to be provided based on your request form and the recommendations of the consultant. Please allow 3-5 days after request submission for your estimate to be delivered.
- If you accept the terms of the estimate, TVCOG will send an invoice via email. Once payment is received, you will be connected directly to the consultant for scheduling purposes.
Pricing
Consulting is available at an hourly rate ranging from $40/hour to $100/hour; as these services are individualized, hourly pricing costs and timing estimates vary depending on details of the member’s request. Detailed service and pricing estimates are provided after Staff review within 3-5 business days of submission.
The Fine Print
- This service is available only to members in good standing.
- There are no refunds or cancellations after payment has been submitted; rescheduling must be negotiated with the consultant.
- Detailed service estimates are provided after Staff review within 3-5 business days of submission, but TVCOG Staff reserves the right to bill for additional hours should the consulting session extend beyond the estimated limit.
- Scheduling varies depending on consultant’s availability; consultations may take place anywhere up to a month after your invoice is paid.
- Services are to be rendered at Tech Valley Center of Gravity. Members must have completed the necessary Work Zone safety orientations before the consultation session.
- TVCOG reserves the right to recommend other services (classes, workshops etc.) should they feel that the consultant program is not the right fit. TVCOG also reserves the right of refusal, should any request be deemed ineligible for recommendation.
