Custom Fabrication Complete Guidelines
Custom Art Surfaces (CAS) has unmatched expertise in the production of custom painting armatures. Here are some policy guidelines that CAS has developed to structure custom fabrication projects.
These may not all apply, depending on the scale of your project.
All custom projects involve some degree of risk, whether that be the risk of exceeding timelines or falling short of design goals.
Projects without sufficient lead-time may not be advisable.
Outcomes, estimates and timelines are not guaranteed, they are projected to the best of our ability.
If something doesn’t meet the stated goals of a design brief, we are still compensated for our labor and materials.
Unless agreed upon otherwise, either party can end the fabrication partnership at any time, however CAS will be compensated for all billable work that precedes that conclusion.
Meetings and phone calls regarding a project or design specifics are considered billable hours.
Internal meetings, design research, CAD models, and/or drawings will be logged and billed. Documents, and files that are generated for a project will be provided to the studio partner.
For projects with significant unknowns invoices will be generated every two weeks that cover labor and material costs for the preceding time period.
For projects with significant duration, CAS will furnish written reports every two weeks updates the client on progress.
CAS reserves the right to apply any newly learned technique or skills to any future CAS production.
Capacity for custom fabrication partnerships is limited, and may not always be available. Please schedule all projects as far ahead of time as possible.
