Engineering Services
DEDALUS provides customized services on a per-project basis, with focus on aerospace, mechanical, and structural engineering.
Clients usually hire our services to complement their in-house capabilities. At DEDALUS we strive to support projects that require assistance and response to specific technical needs, collaborating with organizations that lack the time or resources to complete certain critical goals within the required deadlines. Our team of experts helps evaluate each case and develop a comprehensive work plan. We work closely with our clients to reach a common understanding of project objectives, scope of services required, deadline expectations, and budget constraints; Then, we agree on the development of the work, the deliverables, the time plan, and the pricing structure.
