Project pricing
Clear project ranges. A real quote after we understand the work.
Luminair builds focused workflow tools, client portals and connected applications for advice firms. This page shows the likely order of cost without asking you to price a basket of features.
You do not need a technical brief. Bring the current problem, the systems involved and the result that would make the work worthwhile.
Typical investment
Start with the shape of the problem, not a list of modules.
These are indicative Australian-dollar ranges excluding GST. Final scope, timing and price are confirmed in writing.
Portal foundation or connected workflow
A branded client starting point or a connected staff workflow, with a clear boundary around the first useful release.
$12k–$25kCommonly 4–6 weeks
Connected portal or multi-workflow application
A more complete client or staff experience connected to CRM data, workflow, documents, reporting or automation.
$25k–$45kCommonly 8–14 weeks
Larger platform
Multiple journeys, user groups or integrations where a staged roadmap is safer and more useful than one large launch.

What changes the price
Complexity sits in the decisions and connections, not the screen count.
Systems and data
The number of systems involved, API access, data quality and whether information needs to move in one or both directions.
People and permissions
Client groups, staff roles, secure sign-in and the rules governing who can see, change or approve information.
Workflow complexity
The number of steps, exceptions, approvals, calculations and handoffs the software needs to handle reliably.
Launch responsibility
Migration, testing, security review, training, documentation and the amount of support needed to put the work into use.
An important filter
Not every problem needs custom software.
If the requirement belongs in your CRM, a standard product or a simpler process change, Daniel will say so. Custom work should earn its cost by improving a meaningful client or staff experience.
The written proposal
Clear enough to make a proper decision.
A website calculator cannot see your data, access constraints or operational risk. The proposal can, and it records the assumptions so both sides know what is being agreed.
The problem being solved and the result the work should produce
The agreed first release, exclusions and responsibilities
Delivery stages, timing, price and payment schedule
Integration, security, testing and acceptance assumptions
The post-launch support and improvement arrangement
After launch
Ongoing support is matched to the responsibility Luminair retains.
Support is quoted separately where it is needed. It may cover hosting, monitoring, security and dependency updates, integration support, incident response and an agreed improvement path.
The arrangement is based on the actual software and operating responsibility, not an automatic percentage or a generic care tier.
