BOM & Manufacturing Cost Review

Know what your product should cost to build — before you commit to tooling, suppliers, or a retail price you can’t sustain.

Fixed fee — from US$2,000. Typical duration 1–2 weeks.

Who This Service Is For

Pricing a new product

You need a realistic landed-cost picture before setting retail pricing or pitching investors.

Quotes that don’t add up

Factory quotations vary widely and you can’t tell which numbers are realistic.

Cost reduction targets

Your current unit cost is too high and you need to know where the savings actually are.

How It Works

  1. Design & BOM intake

    You share your design files, existing BOM, or product references — a finished BOM is not required to start.

  2. Line-by-line cost analysis

    We estimate realistic component, assembly, tooling, and testing costs using current China supply chain data.

  3. Risk & alternative review

    We flag risky or end-of-life components, long lead times, and cheaper alternatives that don’t compromise the product.

  4. Cost report & review call

    You receive the full cost breakdown and we walk through the findings and savings opportunities together.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the cost estimate?

Early estimates are directional ranges, not quotes — accuracy improves with design maturity. We tell you clearly which numbers are firm and which depend on decisions you haven’t made yet.

We don’t have a BOM yet. Can you still help?

Yes. From a product description or reference product we can build a preliminary BOM structure and cost range — that’s often exactly what teams need at this stage.

Will you share where the quotes come from?

Yes. Our estimates reference real supplier pricing and current market data, and we show you the assumptions behind every major line item.

Can this be combined with supplier selection?

Very often. A cost review first makes your RFQ far stronger — and the review fee structure is designed so the two services connect cleanly.
