Crescentek

Project Overflow Support

Say yes to the project. We handle the overflow.

When your team is full and a good project lands on your desk, you don't have to turn it down or promise what you can't deliver. We step in as capacity, on your terms, for as long as the project needs.

When overflow fits

Four capacity situations that call for this model.

Overflow isn't for every project — it's for the ones you'd otherwise turn down or deliver late.

Team is at full capacity

Every developer is booked. A new project comes in and the choice is turn it down or find capacity elsewhere. We become that capacity — transparently or as a white-label arrangement.

Timeline compressed

The project timeline was always tight. Two weeks in, it's tighter. Adding a developer from Crescentek doubles the output without the overhead of hiring.

Specialist skill gap

Your team is strong in frontend. The project needs backend expertise you don't have in-house. We fill the gap for the duration of that project, then you're done.

Rapid growth period

You've just landed three large projects simultaneously. Permanent hires take three months. Overflow capacity is available this week.

How it works

Clean handoff. Clean delivery. Clean exit.

Four steps and we're integrated into your project within 24 hours.

01

Brief the overflow project

Same as briefing any project — scope, deadline, tech stack, and what 'done' looks like. No special process.

02

We integrate immediately

Your repo, your ticketing system, your communication channels. We work within your existing structure, not alongside it.

03

You manage, we deliver

Your PM stays in control. We deliver tasks as assigned. You present to the client — the arrangement stays yours.

04

Engagement ends with the project

When the overflow project is done, we're done. No awkward off-boarding, no lingering obligations, no pressure to continue.

Common questions

Project overflow questions answered.

The questions Irish SMBs ask us most often.

Yes. Some agencies hand us a brief and a client contact, and we manage the delivery — reporting back to you at milestones. Others want to stay as the PM and just use us for execution. Either way works.
Two weeks is usually the minimum worth the setup overhead. For shorter urgent tasks, emergency support is probably a better fit. For a two-week sprint or a discrete feature build, overflow works well.
Yes, if that's what you need. We operate as your team, under your communication channels, and with your branding on deliverables. The client relationship stays entirely with you.
Yes. Some agencies send us a specific type of work consistently — for example, all ecommerce builds go to Crescentek because their internal team focuses on custom web applications. That's not really 'overflow' anymore — it's more like a standing arrangement.
Scope changes get the same treatment as any project: minor additions are absorbed, significant changes get a brief written amendment with revised timeline and cost. You stay in control of the commercial relationship with your client.
We need access and a brief — that's it. For unfamiliar tech stacks, we may need a day to orient. For familiar stacks, we can usually start meaningful work on day one.

Got a project you shouldn't turn down?

Send us the brief. We'll tell you if we can take it and what the arrangement looks like.
