The commissioning process:
1: You have something in mind that you want, whether it’s
a piece of practical furniture or an artistic piece to make a statement
in your home.
2: We meet and discuss your requirements in detail; this includes
seeing your existing decor discussing your likes and dislikes, looking
at timber samples and finishes, doing rough sketches and taking
measurements and photos of the location. It’s a good idea
to get a feel for the budget at this point so there are no misunderstandings
later on in the process.
3: I go away and develop the idea into two or three basic designs,
the client usually has input during this period as they spend time
thinking about our meeting. I like to keep in contact by e-mail
it allows sketches to be sent back and forth quickly.
4: As the process develops into a single design I produce a more
accurate drawing and start to price the piece.
5: Once the final design is developed a quotation is produced which
covers the full cost including delivery and an estimate of the delivery
period. Depending on the project delivery times can be from just
a few weeks to several months. Most projects will require a deposit
and stage payments.
6: Once work starts I keep you informed of progress and let you
know when critical stages have been reached. If we are in contact
be e-mail I like to send photos of key stages. The client is welcome
to visit the workshop at any time during the process.
7: Once completed the piece is delivered and if
there is any assembly work required then this will be included in
the price of the commission.
