Frequently Asked Questions

Is it really FREE?

The initial Idea Hotline consultation is. Further consultations may require a quote depending on urgency and complexitity. If the idea becomes a reality, we can deduct any costs incurred during scoping from the production fee.

How fast is "quick"?

Usually 24–48 hours for the readout, depending on complexity. We'll discuss timings on our call to align.

Can you deliver end-to-end?

Yes - concepting through to onsite launch.

What if our idea is not feasible?

We'll propose safer alternates that hit your goal. We're all about the Plan B's and C's.

What's the catch?

No catch. All we ask is that your brief is legitimate, and it's a brief that FutureLabs can deliver. We may ask you a series of qualifying questions to ensure we are the right fit.
