The concept is not yet buildable
We review geometry, skala, material route, support and fabrication access before the visual direction is treated as production-ready.
Custom sculpture fabrication in China
From approved artwork to buildable sculpture.
One-off and limited-series fabrication for artists, architects and project teams, resolved around the artwork, the site and the delivery route.
A fabrication partner, not a stock catalogue
Preserve the intent. Resolve the manufacturing.
We work from approved drawings, 3D filer, scans or reference concepts. We develop your 2D drawings into a 3D model, or split your 3D model into fabrication parts. Geometry, materiale, overflatebehandling, internal structure, transport sections and installation interfaces are reviewed before production. Read our model approval guide to prepare the form, surface and assembly decisions for this review.

Project risks to resolve early
Where overseas custom sculpture projects usually lose time and certainty.
A strong fabrication brief connects the artwork to finish approval, the real site and the delivery route before those decisions become expensive.
The finish is approved too late
Colour, tekstur, gloss, viewing distance and site lighting are tied to an agreed sample and approval method before final finishing.
The sculpture and site are designed separately
Base, anchors, drainage, lifting, access and installer responsibility are coordinated with the object instead of left until delivery.
Packing limits appear after fabrication
Door, road, crate, container and lifting limits are checked early so module splits and protection can be planned into the build.
One connected project reference
Mirror spheres: workshop to site.
The sequence below follows our sphere fabrication from forming to packing. It shows why proportion, reflection, protection and installation cannot be reviewed as separate tasks.
What is resolved before fabrication
Six decisions that protect the artwork and the site.
Every quotation is based on the actual object, use environment and delivery conditions rather than a generic size-only price.
01
Artwork and geometry
Approved proportions, tegninger, files and visual priorities. Use our sculpture quote request checklist to prepare the design, dimensions and project details for this first review.
02
Material and finish
Stainless steel, glassfiber, harpiks, brass, bronze, painted metal or mixed materials.
03
Structure and base
Internal frame, detachable sections, lifting points, anchors and loads.
04
Site conditions
Indoor or outdoor exposure, adgang, installation sequence and local responsibility.
05
Approval evidence
Scale samples (maquettes) on request, charged. Finish samples on request, approved before production. Dimensjoner, surface inspection and progress checkpoints are agreed with the brief.
06
Packing and handoff
Wooden crates; large works split into sections where possible, or shipped whole in a welded steel frame. Installation guidance, or an on-site installation team depending on the project and country.
Our guide to packing, shipping and installing large stainless steel sculptures explains the choices for crates, sectional assembly and unloading at the destination.
Agree the delivery plan
Production timing and destination
Typical production time: about 30 days for pieces up to 3 m, and 45–60 days for larger works (confirmed per project). Send your required installation date with the design so we can review sample approvals, production, packing and shipping in one plan.
Tell us whether you need a charged scale sample or a finish sample for approval. We agree these steps before production so the form and surface decisions support the schedule.
We have shipped to Poland, the UK, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, the USA, India, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar. Include the destination city and country, site access and installation arrangements in your brief.
We review sectional packing or a welded steel transport frame with the design, then agree installation guidance or on-site support according to the project and country. This keeps the handoff to your receiving team part of the fabrication discussion.
Workshop coordination
Metal forming, sveising, polering, mixed-material assembly and packing review.
Open technical questions are documented early. Clients receive approval points and progress evidence around the parts of the work that carry the highest visual or delivery risk.
Selected references
Focused pages for real fabrication questions.
For a vertical composition, our stacked apple stainless steel sculpture brings together reflective and coloured forms for a courtyard or landscape focal point.
First inquiry checklist
A useful first inquiry can be short.
These six inputs let the workshop identify missing decisions and propose the next technical review without asking for a finished specification.
- 01
Reference
One drawing, 3D view, sketch or reference image that shows the intended form.
- 02
Envelope
Target height, width, depth, quantity and any fixed site clearances.
- 03
Application
Indoor or outdoor use, besøkende tilgang, climate and principal viewing distance.
- 04
Finish
Preferred material and visual direction, or a sample/reference when the route is undecided.
- 05
Site interface
Foundation, wall, suspension, access and installation responsibility known at this stage.
- 06
Leveranse
Destination, required date, route limits and any packing or handover constraints.
Planning your commission
Before we prepare your proposal.
What should a preliminary quotation cover?
The proposal should identify the artwork, dimensjoner, materiale, overflatebehandling, quantity and intended use. Fabrication, samples, packing, transport and installation responsibilities should be stated separately, along with assumptions and exclusions. Final price and timing depend on the approved scope and technical review.
How should I request estimates for more than one size?
List each height, width and depth option against the same reference design, with the proposed site and finish. Each size needs its own review of structure, fabrication, transport and installation; a larger version is not priced by multiplying height alone.
What if my production files are confidential?
Start with a non-confidential overview. If your project requires a confidentiality agreement, mention this in your inquiry before sending restricted production files so the terms can be addressed first.
Start with the essentials
Send one image and a short message.
Tell us the approximate size, use location and target finish. Detailed files can follow after the first review.
