Working with BCA
BCA’s pragmatic design and development approach ensures that all of our work meets the highest quality standards. We implement a review-based process, which means our designs are reliable, accurate, and flexible. Reviews are an important key to successful design in all industries, and even more so to conform to the regulatory rigors of medical device design.
We also recognize the importance of communication with our customers. To ensure that we continue to meet and exceed your needs and expectations, we provide weekly status reports. These reports detail the project’s progress, completions, concerns, and a current budget versus actual statement analysis. Our years of utilizing this practice have proven weekly updates keep projects running smoothly.
