What is your process for working with clients on a custom project?
Each project we undertake is different; however, we use the following process as a guideline for our projects:
  • The client brings a design - or - brings ideas and collaborates with us on a design
  • We work with the client to choose the right materials, colors, and textures for the piece. We may travel to the client's home/business to survey the site where the piece will ultimately live
  • We produce a quote for the price of the project
  • We produce a three-dimensional rendering of the design
  • The client denotes changes to the design and we iterate on this process until the final design is reached
  • The client signs off on the design; we request 1/2 of the project cost as deposit
  • We build the custom piece
  • We deliver and install the piece, if applicable
  • The client enjoys their one-of-a-kind design!
