SAVE MONEY
Producing artworks correctly and well needs a specific kind of expertise, artistic skill and specialist knowledge. If the wrong materials, methods and processes are used, maybe to try and cut costs or due to a lack of understanding or available skills, your artworks can fail, may not be durable, may look poor and worse, may be unsafe. In order to save money repairing or replacing artworks prematurely due to avoidable damage,  surface or structural deterioration or safety issues,  it pays to do it right the first time as in the long run this will save you money.
Historically it was rare to produce artworks for the end client directly. There were layers of other companies (intermediaries) in various forms in-between the artwork/sculpture fabricator and the end client and each company in-between, the artwork fabricator and the end client marked up the costs they received from their respective supplier beneath them by a percentage, before passing their costs on up the line. There could be multiple companies in the line each wanting a slice of the cake. This meant that the end client either ended up paying more than they needed to for their artworks, OR each company in the layer below the end client squeezed the costs of the company below in order to get a profit. This meant the end client could end up getting a far inferior product than they would have, had they simply dealt with the artwork fabricator directly and if you buy an inferior artwork product, you often have problems with it in the future or even immediately. Commissioning us direct to design, fabricate and install your artwork/s, not only can save you money but also mean you get a better quality, more appropriate artwork product for your money and can prevent nasty surprises or disappointment in the future if the artwork fails.

SAVE TIME
Although more intuitive contractors, developers and procurement departments already realise the benefits of sole supplier, design and build contracts for artworks, some are still sticking to the broken, time consuming and inappropriate method of tendering out requests for supply of artworks. Sending tenders out to companies to build gypsum walls or lay floors, works and  is often just a sqm price comparison for the procurement team. They just need to compare tile for tile, which they have an understanding of. Artworks are completely different however. The information sent out is, in the main, poor, misleading, incomplete and contradictory. The person or team sending the tender does not have a complete understanding or clear idea what they are asking for and sends this poor information to companies who equally, often have no real experience, expertise, ability or understanding of making artworks and these companies repeat the process further down the line until they find a company who they think can make the artwork. When a request is made for clarification it has to then pass on up the line through the chain before someone answers the question, often incorrectly if they are disconnected from the end client or decision maker, before passing it back down the line to add to the confusion. Companies who have been asked to tender then eventually submit their costs for what they “think” is wanted or needed and a company is appointed. The appointed company begins work and then at the point where they start submitting samples, making drawings or worse, once they have made the item, it is discovered that what they think the client wants is not actually the case. The appointed fabricator at the bottom of the pile, is often the one who then, either has to swallow their losses, or revisions are costed and asked for and more unnecessary paperwork and sign offs are generated, while everything is at a standstill.
This whole flawed process can literally waste hundreds of man hours, days and weeks and sometimes means a project that should take 45 days could take a year. Everybody loses.
If you commission us direct to design, fabricate and install your artwork/s, the procedure is much more efficient, accurate, time savings can be huge and projects can be completed on or before time.    

EXPERIENCE, EXPERTISE AND ARTISTIC SKILL
To design, fabricate and install artworks correctly there are many things to consider. The installation may dictate how it needs to be made, how it needs to be made can dictate how it needs to be designed which in turn needs to be considered if you are to conceptualise properly.
In addition, being able to understand form, flow, shape and beauty, how something will react in a given location and what materials are suitable for task, these are all things that come from experience, expertise and artistic skill and these come as standard when you commission us to design, fabricate and install your artwork/s and sculptures.

SAFETY
This must be considered from the very start and is very much part of each process right through to the end and beyond, post installation. 

LONG TERM DURABILITY
Experience and expertise in our field enables us to share this benefit with those that commission us to design, fabricate and install their artworks for them.

EXCEED YOUR EXPECTATIONS
Constantly pushing ourselves, testing our knowledge and increasing our capabilities is how we have exceeded the expectations of others and if you commission us to design, fabricate and install your artwork/s for you, our aim is to exceed yours as well

UNIQUE ARTWORKS
It is regrettable that for many people and companies “design” unfortunately has  become the act of merely looking on the internet, copying and pasting artworks liked and then trying to have them copied, rather than supporting /engaging with the original artist to develop a new piece, or being creative and actually truly designing something. This is both ethically wrong and can cause issues with copyright. Commissioning us to design, fabricate and install artworks for you brings with it specialist artistic skills, knowledge, understanding and experience, which gives us a measurable advantage when it comes to creating unique pieces and if they are unique there will be no copyright worries.  

LESS STRESS
If you put your trust in the hands of experienced, creative and skilled professionals that understand all of the processes involved in creating great works of art, and most importantly you deal with them directly, then by default, rather than have a stressful experience, you may well enjoy it….. Try and see for yourself by contacting us direct and commissioning us to design, fabricate and install your artwork/s for you.
