PHP Project EstimationProject Estimation
Get a fixed price for your PHP project in 2 weeks. We estimate scope, tech stack, and timeline before you commit.
IRPR builds PHP project estimates for custom web applications, SaaS platforms, APIs, and ecommerce systems. We use Laravel, Symfony, WordPress, and vanilla PHP to scope your project accurately.
Every estimate includes a fixed price, a 12-14 week build timeline, and a detailed tech stack. Projects start at $80K and go up to $250K depending on complexity. We also handle HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 compliance.
CTOs at funded startups hire us to de-risk their PHP builds. Product managers at SaaS companies use our estimates to plan budgets. Agency owners white-label our estimation process for their clients. Founders building MVPs get a clear path to launch.

PHP Project Estimation by the Numbers
We have estimated and delivered over 200 PHP projects across 50 countries.
Our estimation process starts with a 30-minute discovery call. Within 2 weeks, you receive a detailed Roadmap document with scope, tech stack, timeline, and a fixed price. We do not charge for the initial call.
The average PHP project takes 12 weeks to build. 98% of projects ship on time. Our starting price for a PHP project is $80,000. Every project includes a dedicated QA engineer and a staging environment.
Why Our PHP Estimates Are Different
Most agencies give vague estimates. IRPR gives you a fixed price and a locked scope.
Generic dev shops often quote hourly rates and change scope mid-project. That leads to budget overruns and delayed launches. They may use junior developers and have no formal QA process.
IRPR works differently. We assign senior engineers (10+ years experience) to every project. We lock scope in the Roadmap phase so you know exactly what you are paying for. You get full code ownership and a 12-week delivery guarantee.
- Hourly billing with no cap
- Scope creep without change orders
- No fixed timeline
- Unclear code ownership
- Junior developers on your project
- No dedicated QA engineer
- Fixed price from day 1
- Scope locked in Roadmap phase
- 12-week delivery guarantee
- Full code ownership
- Senior engineers only (10+ years)
- Dedicated QA engineer on every project
Our PHP Project Estimation Process
We turn your idea into a fixed-price estimate in 4 steps.
Step 1: Discovery Call. We talk for 30 minutes about your business, users, and technical requirements. No commitment, no charge.
Steps 2-4: Roadmap, Build, Release. After the call, we spend 2 weeks creating a detailed Roadmap. Then we build your PHP project in 8-12 weeks. Finally, we deploy and hand over everything.
What Ships With Every PHP Project
Everything you need to run and maintain your PHP application.
When we deliver your PHP project, you get more than just code. We hand over a complete production-ready system with monitoring, documentation, and deployment scripts.
All deliverables are stored in your own GitHub repository. You own everything from day one. There are no licensing fees or vendor lock-in.
- Source code in your private GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions
- Sentry error tracking and performance monitoring
- Staging environment on AWS or DigitalOcean
- Postman collection with API documentation
- Docker containers for local development
- Unit tests with PHPUnit (80%+ coverage)
- Laravel Horizon queue monitoring dashboard
- AWS deployment scripts (Terraform or CloudFormation)
- Slack integration for deploy alerts and error notifications

Why teams hire us.
Fixed price, not hourly
Every PHP project gets a fixed quote in the Roadmap phase (week 2). No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, no scope creep charges. You know the exact cost before we write a single line of code.
Senior engineers only
Our team averages 12 years of PHP experience. Every engineer has shipped production systems on Laravel, Symfony, or custom frameworks. We do not outsource or use junior developers.
12-week delivery guarantee
We commit to a 12-week build timeline for most PHP projects. 98% of our projects ship on time. If we miss the deadline, you get a discount on the next phase.
Full code ownership
You own all source code, documentation, and assets from day one. There are no licensing fees or vendor lock-in. We transfer everything to your GitHub account at launch.
No scope creep
Scope is locked in the Roadmap phase. Any changes go through a formal change request process with a clear price and timeline impact. This keeps your project on budget.
Dedicated project manager
Every PHP project has a dedicated project manager who runs daily standups, weekly demos, and maintains a shared project board. You get a single point of contact throughout the build.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
