Custom PHP Project EstimationProject Estimation
Get a fixed price for your PHP project in 2 weeks. No hourly billing, no surprises.
IRPR builds custom PHP applications using Laravel, Symfony, and PHP 8.3 with MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Docker. We estimate every project in the Roadmap phase (week 2) and give you a fixed price before any development begins.
Your project ships with a CI/CD pipeline, unit tests, Sentry error tracking, and full documentation. Typical MVPs take 8-12 weeks and cost between $80,000 and $250,000. Our infrastructure meets SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS standards where required.
We work with CTOs who need accurate estimates for board approval, startup founders building their first SaaS product, enterprise IT managers modernizing legacy PHP systems, and agencies that need white-label development. Every client gets a dedicated senior engineer from day one.

Why accurate PHP project estimation matters
A vague estimate leads to budget overruns and missed deadlines. IRPR gives you a fixed price after a 2-week Roadmap phase.
Most development shops quote a range like $50K-$200K and bill hourly when you exceed it. That model punishes you for changing requirements. IRPR instead spends 2 weeks fully understanding your spec, then delivers a single fixed price.
Our 200+ shipped products and 98% on-time record prove this works. Every project uses the same estimation framework: user stories, data model, API endpoints, and a phased delivery plan. You approve the quote before we write a single line of code.
Generic dev shop vs IRPR: how we estimate PHP projects
Most agencies give you a vague range and bill hourly. IRPR gives you a fixed price and a firm deadline.
When you ask a generic shop for a PHP project estimate, you often get a spreadsheet with hourly rates and no cap. They treat estimation as a sales tactic, not a commitment.
IRPR treats estimation as a engineering deliverable. Our Roadmap phase produces a detailed specification, a fixed price, and a timeline. We stick to it.
- Vague ballpark estimate ($50K-$200K)
- Hourly billing with no cap
- Scope creep without re-quote
- No written specification
- Delays blamed on changing requirements
- You don't own the full code until final payment
- Fixed price after 2-week Roadmap
- No hourly billing, ever
- Scope changes re-estimated in writing
- Detailed spec with user stories and API contracts
- 8-12 week delivery, 98% on-time
- Full code ownership from day one
Our 4-step process for custom PHP project estimation and delivery
From discovery to deployment, every step is designed to eliminate surprises.
We break every PHP project into four phases. Each phase has a clear deliverable and a fixed cost. You decide whether to proceed after each phase.
This approach has shipped over 200 products across 50 countries. No project has ever gone over budget.
What ships with every custom PHP project
Every deliverable is designed to give you a production-ready application, not just code.
When we finish a PHP project, you get more than a working app. You get the entire engineering foundation to maintain and scale it yourself.
All deliverables are included in the fixed price. No add-ons, no hidden fees.
- Source code in your GitHub/GitLab repo
- CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions or GitLab CI
- Unit tests with PHPUnit (80%+ coverage)
- API documentation (OpenAPI/Swagger)
- Deployment scripts for AWS or DigitalOcean
- Sentry error tracking and performance monitoring
- Staging and production environments
- Admin dashboard with user management
- 30-day post-launch support and bug fixes

Why teams hire us.
Fixed price, not hourly
Every project gets a fixed quote in the Roadmap phase (week 2). No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, no scope creep charges. Our 200+ projects have never gone over budget.
2-week estimation phase
We spend 2 weeks fully understanding your requirements before quoting. This produces a detailed spec and a price you can take to your board. No other agency does this.
Senior PHP engineers only
Every IRPR engineer has 8+ years of experience in Laravel or Symfony. We don't outsource or use junior developers. Your project is built by the same person who estimated it.
Full code ownership
You own every line of code from day one. We push to your repository, and you control the license. No lock-in, no recurring fees for the code.
CI/CD and monitoring included
Every project ships with automated testing, continuous deployment, and Sentry error tracking. Your team can deploy changes independently after handoff.
Compliance built-in (SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI)
We build compliance into the architecture from the start. Healthcare projects meet HIPAA, fintech projects meet PCI-DSS, and SaaS projects meet SOC 2. No afterthought audits.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
