Software that works — every change past a test and a human

Frequently asked questions about services

• Which technologies are used?

  We work with Symfony, Laravel, PHP, Shopware and Pimcore. The choice depends on project requirements and your existing technical environment.

• What does a typical project look like?

  Every project starts with an introduction and assessment. This is followed by a proposal with planning, after which we carry out development in short iterations with regular demos and feedback.

• Is ten Bruggencate Development available for long-term assignments?

  Yes, we accept both short-term and long-term assignments. Availability is shown on the homepage and can be discussed during an introduction.

• What does a software project cost at ten Bruggencate Development?

  What drives the price is usually the same: how many integrations are needed, whether existing data has to come along, and whether there is a system underneath that has to keep running during the build. Half an hour on the phone gets you the order of magnitude. Naming a figure before that conversation would be a guess at a scope that is not settled yet, and that is no use to you.

• How long does an average software project take?

  An extension is often a matter of weeks, a new platform of months. What drives the lead time is rarely the building itself, but how many people have to sign off and how many systems have to keep running meanwhile. After the assessment there is a plan with milestones — and with the assumptions written next to them, so you can see what moves if an assumption turns out to be wrong.

• How does collaboration with an existing development team work?

  We fit into existing teams and workflows — Jira, GitLab, Scrum, Kanban, whatever works. Direct communication without intermediaries makes the collaboration fast and efficient.

• What if the project was already started with another party?

  That happens regularly. After a code audit, we assess the current state and make a plan for further development, maintenance or migration — without losing what's already been built.

• What's the difference compared to an agency or staffing firm?

  At ten Bruggencate Development, you work directly with whoever actually builds your project. No rotating faces, no overhead, no intermediaries — direct communication, short lines and responsibility from start to finish.

• Is maintenance and support offered after delivery?

  Yes. After delivery, we provide structural maintenance: security updates, bug fixes, performance monitoring and ongoing development. The collaboration continues as long as you wish.

• How are projects delivered faster?

  Through automated code generation, testing and documentation, we deliver typical projects significantly faster. Complex projects benefit the most. Architecture, decisions and review remain human work — modern tooling accelerates the pace.

• Is all code reviewed by a human?

  Yes, without exception. Automated analysis runs ahead — static analysis, tests, a dependency audit — but nothing reaches production until a person has read it and signed off. That sign-off cannot be delegated away here, and that is the point.
