What to Send When Requesting a Sculpture Quote
What to Send for an Accurate Quote
Include dimensions, viewing distance, material preference or site exposure, finish type, quantity, destination port, target installation date, and any drawing or reference image. This ensures the quotation reflects your project's actual needs.
Why Dimensions and Viewing Distance Matter
Dimensions affect structural design, welding complexity, and transport logistics. Viewing distance determines how much detail can be included and whether surface finish visibility is critical.
Material Choice Based on Site Exposure
Corten steel is suited for outdoor environments where a weathered patina is acceptable. 304 and 316 stainless steel are used for indoor or coastal sites, with 316 preferred near saltwater or in high-chloride areas.
Finish Affects Both Cost and Maintenance
Mirror polish shows surface imperfections and staining more clearly. Brushed finish hides minor marks but requires more time to apply. Specify the finish early to avoid delays.
How to Share Your Design
Send a 3D drawing, detailed photo, or sketch. If no drawing exists, provide a sample, reference image, or description of the concept. Kapur supports OEM and ODM orders from any input format.
Why Destination Port and Installation Date Are Needed
The destination port determines freight method and crate design. The installation date sets the production schedule, which starts after the quote is confirmed and the order is placed.
How Kapur Handles Design Support
In-house designers assist with translating ideas into buildable forms. They work from your input—photo, drawing, or concept—and deliver a production-ready design within the quote timeline.
