Python/Django Project EstimationProject Estimation
Get a fixed price and a 12-week timeline in your first two weeks. No hourly billing, no scope creep.
IRPR builds custom web applications with Python and Django. We use Django REST Framework for APIs, Celery for background tasks, and PostgreSQL for data storage. Every project starts with a two-week Roadmap phase that produces a fixed price and a detailed timeline.
We ship production-ready MVPs in 8 to 12 weeks. Fixed pricing ranges from $80K to $250K depending on scope. We comply with HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 standards. You get full source code ownership and a CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions.
CTOs hire us to launch SaaS platforms without hiring a full team. Founders use us to validate ideas with a working product in 12 weeks. Enterprise teams outsource Django projects to us when their internal capacity is full. Each engagement starts with a clear Python/Django project estimation.

Why accurate Python/Django project estimation matters
A wrong estimate can kill your budget and your timeline. Here is what we have learned from 200+ projects.
Most agencies estimate Django projects based on hourly rates and vague scopes. That leads to cost overruns and missed deadlines. IRPR uses a two-week Roadmap phase to define every feature, every API endpoint, and every data model before giving you a fixed price.
Our Roadmap produces a detailed specification, a wireframe prototype, and a fixed-price contract. You know the exact cost and timeline before we write a line of production code. This approach has helped us deliver 98% of projects on time.
How IRPR differs from other Django agencies
Most shops give you a ballpark and then bill you for every extra hour. We do the opposite.
Generic development shops often start coding without a clear plan. They estimate based on hourly rates and change the price when scope shifts. You end up paying for discovery during development, which inflates the budget.
IRPR front-loads the estimation work. In the Roadmap phase (week 1-2), we define the full scope and produce a fixed price. No hourly billing. No surprises. You get a contract that matches the estimate, not the other way around.
- Estimates based on hourly rates
- No fixed price until after coding starts
- Scope creep increases costs by 30-50%
- No compliance review before development
- Timeline slips by weeks or months
- You pay for discovery during production
- Fixed price after 2-week Roadmap
- No hourly billing at any stage
- Scope defined before coding begins
- HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2 reviewed in Roadmap
- 98% of projects deliver on time
- Full source code ownership
Our 4-phase approach to Django project estimation
We break every project into four phases so you always know what comes next and what it costs.
Phase 1 is the Idea call where we discuss your product goals, target users, and technical constraints. Phase 2 is the Roadmap where we produce a detailed specification, wireframes, and a fixed price. This takes two weeks and costs a fixed fee that goes toward development if you proceed.
Phase 3 is Product development where our senior engineers build your Django app in 8-12 weeks. Phase 4 is Release where we deploy to production, set up monitoring with Sentry, and hand over the source code. Every phase has a clear deliverable and a fixed cost.
What ships with every Django project
Every engagement includes these deliverables by default. No add-on costs, no hidden fees.
When you get a Python/Django project estimation from IRPR, the price covers everything needed to launch. You do not pay extra for deployment, documentation, or compliance setup. All of it is included in the fixed price.
Our standard delivery includes a production-ready application, a CI/CD pipeline, error monitoring, and full documentation. You own the code from day one and can deploy anywhere.
- Source code in your private GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions
- Dockerized application for AWS or any cloud
- PostgreSQL database schema and migrations
- Sentry error tracking and monitoring
- Stripe or Braintree payment integration
- Admin dashboard with Django admin
- API documentation with Swagger/OpenAPI
- Unit tests with pytest (80%+ coverage)
- Deployment runbook and architecture diagram

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. You know the exact cost before we write code.
Senior engineers only
We hire no juniors. Every engineer has 8+ years of experience with Python and Django. You get a team that ships production code from day one, not a training ground.
Compliance built in
We build HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 compliant Django apps by default. Our Roadmap includes a compliance review so you do not have to retrofit security later.
8-12 week MVPs
Most projects ship in 8 to 12 weeks. We have delivered over 200 products on time. Our process is optimized for speed without cutting corners on quality.
Full code ownership
You own every line of code from the first commit. No licensing fees, no proprietary frameworks, no vendor lock-in. Deploy anywhere, modify anytime.
Post-launch support included
Every engagement includes 30 days of post-launch support. We fix bugs, monitor performance, and help you scale. No extra cost, no hourly fees.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
