Budget guidance
What affects the cost of a commission?
Bespoke work is priced individually. The main factors are the specialist’s experience, the scale and complexity, materials, research or design time, fabrication, location, delivery, installation and the available timescale.
A useful brief does not need to prescribe the solution. Sharing a realistic budget helps us identify viable specialists and avoid unsuitable proposals.
A stronger first brief includes
- What you want to create and why
- Where it will be used or displayed
- Preferred style, mood or references
- Approximate size and material preferences
- Budget range and required completion date
- Access, delivery or installation considerations
