Access the AMRF
Our rates and services
Projects and services can be undertaken through a fixed cost (quoted price and scope) model, where the AMRF takes a share of the duration and application risk.
Alternatively, hourly rates can be utilised for rapid projects with short durations enabling a quick response to access equipment and expertise for short term testing and applied knowledge development.
The following rates have been provided for transparency and reference to short term project development engagement. Please reach out to the team if you require a fixed cost project estimate.
