Custom Commission Process
Commissioning custom furniture begins with a complimentary phone call and then moves through three phrases.
Phase I - Inquiry
Initial Contact
Reach out with your project idea. Gather as much information you can as far as dimensions, wood species, and inspiration. (If you don’t know yet that’s ok too).
Exploration phone call
We’ll have a complimentary phone call to discuss your project. At the end of this phone call I will have the information to provide you with an estimate on cost and timeline.
Sketch and estimate
Based on our phone call I will email you a simple sketch and estimate for cost and timeline. If you would like to move forward we move to the design phase. There is a fee for the design phase based on the size of the project, which gets applied to the project total.
Phase II - Design
Design Drawings
You will be sent a set of technical drawings for approval based on our previous discussions. All our designs are drawn by hand for your approval. (Samples can be seen in our custom portfolio).
Iterations
At this point we will discuss details and make appropriate changes to the design to get the design you want. At this time a cost and timeline will also be finalized.
Deposit
To begin building your piece of a furniture a 50% deposit is required. (The design fee is applied to the deposit.) The deposit gets you into the schedule and is a commitment to the design presented. Changes after a deposit could incur additional costs.
Phase III - Build
Lumber Selection
Lumber is hand selected for reach project and laid our for your project specifically for beauty and quality.
Process Updates
Once the build begins you will receive photo updates on your furniture on a minimum weekly basis.
Completion
Once the project is done, final photos will be sent and the final 50% payment is due to relase for shipping or delivery.
Shipping or Delivery
Shipping and delivery are discussed on a case by case delivery. If local to northern New Jersey I will often deliver a piece of furniture myself. For further deliveries I have relationships with “white-glove” movers who will blanket wrap your furniture and bring it into your home.
