Custom Solutions.
Competitive & Predictable Costs.
We keep development costs competitive and transparent — no hidden fees, no budget surprises. Get a product built to your specs with pricing you can plan around.
What Are NRE Costs?
NRE (Non-Recurring Engineering) costs are one-time fees that hardware companies charge for the design, development, prototyping, and testing of a custom product. In the electronics industry, these fees typically range from $50,000 to $500,000+ depending on complexity.
For many companies — especially those entering new markets or developing specialized systems — NRE costs represent the single largest barrier to getting a custom solution built. They create risk, slow down decision-making, and often force buyers to settle for off-the-shelf products that don't fully meet their needs.
Traditional Vendor vs. EnergoLab
See how our approach eliminates financial barriers to custom development.

Payment required before design begins
Risk falls entirely on the buyer
Long approval cycles for budget allocation
Limited iterations within NRE scope
Separate charges for design changes
EnergoLab
Competitive, transparent R&D pricing
Fixed development costs — no surprise invoices
Shared investment — we believe in your project
Fast decision-making, no budget committees
Iterative design until you're satisfied
Design modifications included in the agreed cost
How We Make It Work
Our business model is built around long-term partnerships, not one-time fees.
Partnership Model
We invest in the R&D phase because we build long-term production partnerships. When your product succeeds, we succeed — our revenue comes from manufacturing, not design fees.
In-House Capabilities
With full in-house R&D, manufacturing, and testing, we control our costs. No outsourced development means no inflated overhead to pass on to you.
Volume Alignment
We align our pricing with production volumes. The development investment is absorbed into a sustainable per-unit cost — transparent, predictable, and fair.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you keep development costs so competitive?
With full in-house R&D, manufacturing, and testing, we control every stage of the process. No outsourced development means no inflated overhead — and those savings are passed directly to you.
Are there any hidden fees or surprise costs?
No. We agree on a fixed development cost upfront. Our model is built on transparent, long-term partnerships — the price you see is the price you pay.
What if my project requirements change during development?
Reasonable design iterations are part of our process and included in the agreed cost. Our goal is to get the product right, not to bill for every revision.
Do I own the intellectual property?
IP ownership terms are discussed on a per-project basis. In many cases, full IP transfer is included. We're flexible and transparent about this from day one.
