Public & Private Sculpture Commissions
Whether you are considering a private sculpture installation at your home or business, or sculpture for public installation in public spaces or a sculpture park, my goal is to make the process enjoyable and affordable.
Experience
I have many sculptures installed across the United States and have the experience to fulfill your expectations in a timely and professional way.
1Location
We will discuss the location for your sculpture such as: pool area, garden, landscape, residential entryway, or for an interior space.
2Scale and Materials
I will be happy to consult with any contractors or landscape architects that you may be working with you to coordinate the design and installation of the sculpture.
3Cost
Attention to budget will be addressed to assure all fees and charges will be understood. I charge a design fee, typically 10% of the cost of the sculpture, which is credited to the total cost of the sculpture and is non-refundable.
4Installation
Shipping and delivery will be discussed initially to determine the necessity of having the sculpture installed by the sculptor or simply shipped by best available means. The cost averages between 8%-10% of the total cost of the sculpture but will be determined on an individual basis.
5Design
At this point, sketches and/or scale drawings will be furnished prior to design approval. When the design is approved, I require a 30% deposit to schedule the sculpture. The next payment of 30% is due at the halfway point of the project where I also furnish photos of the progress of the sculpture and discuss any concerns you might have. The final payment will be due upon completion of the sculpture.
