Build a brief that can be quoted
Start with a reference image or your own design, overall height, width and depth, quantity, destination and a photograph of the setting. Identify what matters most: a portrait likeness, a precise silhouette, a reflective finish or a particular budget. For third-party designs, confirm permission to commission the work before proceeding.
Agree the scope before production
The written scope should identify the material, dimensions, finish, base interface and any transport sections. Ask which drawings, models or samples are included and how revisions are handled. Concept development and structural verification are separate tasks; clarify responsibility for each where the project requires them.
Choose approval checkpoints for the material
A modeled bronze figure may need a model review before casting; a fabricated metal form may need drawing, assembly and surface reviews. Discuss the relevant checkpoints with ToJa. Record approval in writing with the drawing or sample reference so that later changes can be assessed for cost and schedule.
Review the finished piece before packing
Request views from several angles, close-ups of the finish and confirmation of the agreed dimensions and connection points. Compare these with the approved brief. Photographs help review appearance but do not replace any inspection, testing or documentation required by the contract. Agree the acceptance method before manufacturing begins.
Work back from the opening date
Design approval, fabrication, packing, freight, customs and installation are separate stages. Share your target date early and ask for a project-specific schedule. Changes after approval may affect both price and timing. The quotation and order confirmation should define the actual milestones; a general guide cannot promise a universal lead time.
