To ensure a better quality service and product, take time to consider the factors that strongly influence the price and efficiency of a project.
Models
Models are abstractions of a proposal and a representation of the stage at which the project currently finds itself. It is impractical to represent every element, so editing is required to make the principal ideas clear and dramatic.
Furniture
Furniture making is delicate and time consuming. Most pieces are unique, and construction details may change depending on selected materials, joints, machinery, cutting methods and routing.
Initial contact
Contacting us early enables higher quality at lower prices. Short deadlines create more waste, more mistakes and greater demands on health and safety.
Supplying information
When a budget is proposed, specific milestones and dates for required information should be understood. Delays in accepting budgets or supplying drawings directly affect completion time and cost.
Changes during the process
A certain number of changes can be absorbed by the budget and schedule, but extreme changes can cause delays or increase cost.
Shipping and delivery
Unless stated otherwise, the client arranges pick-up, packaging and delivery. Fragile pieces should be insured and handled by companies specialized in shipping delicate objects.
Components influencing completion time and cost
Lighting, painting, bent wood or plexiglass, custom vinyl printing, separable models, moving parts, large scale, special materials and model urns can all add meaningful time to a project.
Things out of our control
We work with consultants for material cutting, lighting, vinyl, 3D printing, urns, shipping boxes and specialized materials. A well planned project makes ordering and correcting errors much easier.
