Determining a price for your project depends on many factors: budget, conception,
intricacy of design, type of material, fabrication time, shipping and installation.
Since all projects generally start from an
idea or a dream, the first step is to get that dream down on paper. After meeting with Craig to determine
what your needs and expectations are, he will create a sketch and inform you of your options. Once a decision has been made
on the design, the process of creating begins.
Material selection is the first step. Deciding on whether to
use local materials or specially ordered items will be based on budget, availability and practicality of use in
the design.
Second,
is fabrication time. Since most of the pieces are made by hand, fabrication time will be determined by complexity of
design and the labor involved for completion.
Once your piece is completed, the last step is installation. Installation cost is also determined
by complexity of installation on site and labor involved to affix the piece(s) properly.
As mentioned on the home page, Craig specializes in large scale pieces
to compliment the dimensions of custom homes. As with any piece he’s creating,
Craig will personally visit each site, speak directly to all parties involved and provide a written estimate prior to beginning
any work on a commissioned project.
Keep in mind, you will be obtaining a unique piece of handcrafted art. Whether to be used as a decorative element or for a practical purpose, when purchasing
something of this caliber, cost and time are insignificant when compared to the fact that you will own an item that cannot
be found anywhere else.
To assure authenticity, all fabricated art is signed; directly into
the metal, by the artist himself.
