How to get started


  1. Call or email us to schedule your private appointment.
  2. We will meet with you at the place of your choosing to conduct an initial consultation to gain an understanding of what you have in mind to create.  If necessary, there may be follow-up meetings or emails to be sure we completely understand what you have in mind.
  3. After we arrive at a conceptual design we will then produce a computer model along with a highly-realistic computer-generated render (or, picture) of that model so that you can see exactly what it will look like. These designs can be discussed and viewed through email for your convenience or, if you prefer, and it is geographically possible, then we are always happy to meet and discuss your ideas in person.
  4. Need to make some adjustments?  No worries. Changes are welcome throughout the design process until you are satisfied that we've arrived at the perfect design. YOU are in charge of the process.
  5. After you have approved of the final design we will produce a detailed estimate of the cost of the project based on current metals prices.  We honor those estimates for a limited time due to the significant fluctuations that may occur in the market.  A 50% down payment is required before production can begin on your creation.  Once the piece is completed to your complete satisfaction we then request payment in full upon delivery.
