The engagement runs across three phases. Each closes with a written deliverable and a review call before the next begins.
PHASE 1 · ASSESSMENT
Site walkthroughs, inventory of existing switches, access points, and firewalls, ISP and cloud connectivity review, and a written current-state report with gaps and risks identified.
PHASE 2 · DESIGN
Target-state architecture with LAN, wifi, and WAN diagrams, VLAN and segmentation plan, cloud connectivity design, and a security posture aligned with your compliance requirements.
PHASE 3 · IMPLEMENTATION PLAN + BOM
Phased roll-out plan with cutover windows and dependencies, a complete hardware bill of materials with vendor and model recommendations, and a handoff package for the team executing the build.
Not included: hardware purchase, cabling and installation labor, ongoing MSP or managed support, and ISP contract negotiation. New scope can be added in writing at any time.

The Network Design Proposal template is a five-page document for putting your engagement on paper before it starts. It carries an overview with stat cards, objectives, a three-phase scope of work, an investment table with a computed total, and an acceptance page with inputs and signatures.
It is intentionally simple: rename what needs renaming in Bonsai, list your actual deliverables, and set the price. Merge fields handle the client details and date, and the last page collects a PO number, start date, and both signatures.
Everything below comes pre-configured. Turn sections on or off, edit the copy, or add your own — Bonsai remembers your choices for next time.
Can I edit every section? Yes — every heading, paragraph, stat, table row, and signature block is fully editable in Bonsai.
Can I add more pages? Yes — add, reorder, or duplicate pages once the template is open.
Do merge fields auto-fill? Yes — Sender, Receiver, and Date pull from your client contact and the current date automatically.
