Questions, answered

Everything you need to know before starting a project with PB Lab.

What kinds of Android apps do you build?
We build native Android apps in Kotlin and Java — from utility and productivity apps to media players and offline-first tools — with Material Design and Play Store publishing.
Do you provide end-to-end home automation?
Yes. We handle planning, circuit design, programming, testing, installation, and ongoing support for smart lighting, switches, voice control, and energy monitoring.
Which hardware platforms do you use for IoT?
Primarily ESP32, ESP8266, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi, with sensors, relay controllers, and wireless communication over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and MQTT.
Can you build a custom software tool for my business?
Absolutely. We create desktop utilities, automation tools, data-processing pipelines, and API integrations tailored to your workflow.
How do you price projects?
Pricing depends on scope, complexity, and timeline. We offer fixed-price quotes for well-defined work and hourly for open-ended consulting.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes, we routinely sign NDAs and treat all client work and IP as confidential.
Will I own the source code?
Yes. On full payment, you receive the complete source code and documentation for the deliverables you commissioned.
Do you offer ongoing support and maintenance?
We provide post-launch support, bug fixes, and retainer plans for ongoing development and monitoring.
Can you publish the app to the Google Play Store?
Yes. We handle store listings, screenshots, compliance, and rollout, or hand off a publish-ready build.
How long does a typical project take?
Small apps take 2–4 weeks; complex automation or IoT systems 6–12 weeks. We share a clear timeline after discovery.
Do you work with clients outside India?
Yes. We collaborate remotely with clients worldwide and adapt to your timezone for key checkpoints.
What about security and data privacy?
We follow secure development practices, minimize data collection, and encrypt sensitive data in transit and at rest.
Can you integrate with my existing systems?
Yes. We build REST/ MQTT integrations and connect to existing databases, APIs, and cloud services.
Do you prototype before full development?
For hardware and complex software we recommend a prototype phase to de-risk the design before scaling up.
How do we get started?
Reach out via the contact page with a short brief. We'll schedule a discovery call and return a proposal with timeline and quote.
