How we work
From first conversation to final delivery
A clear, structured engagement, with a senior member of our team from the very first call.
- 01
Initial consultation
We discuss your project, your stage, your institution’s requirements and your deadline, usually on a WhatsApp call with a senior member of our team.
- 02
Assessment and quotation
We review your documents, guidelines and data, then provide an itemised quotation and a realistic timeline.
- 03
Agreement and deposit
Work begins once the scope is confirmed and a 60% deposit is received. The balance is due on the milestone set out in the quotation.
- 04
Delivery and guidance
We work through the agreed deliverables with you, explaining methods, outputs and decisions so that you can present and defend them.
- 05
Review and finalisation
We address agreed revisions and supervisor or reviewer feedback, and support you through final submission.
Fees
Fees are quoted per project. They depend on the service required, the volume of work involved and the academic level, since Honours, Master’s and PhD projects differ considerably in scope. We are happy to provide a personalised, itemised quotation once we understand your project.
Research integrity
We don’t write your thesis. We help you own it.
REC provides coaching, guidance, analysis and editing. We do not write theses for clients: the research remains the client’s own work. We keep client documents and data confidential, never fabricate data, results or references, and do not guarantee grades, examination outcomes or publication.
