From Concept to Creation

At E. Kraemer Fine Metal & Woodwork, every project is custom — and that means each one follows a thoughtful, collaborative process. Here’s what to expect as we bring your vision to life:

• Exchange of ideas: Typically we can work up an estimate based on your approx dimensions, inspiration photos, drawings and doodles. We don’t usually do site visits before we are contracted.

• Concept agreement/Proposal/Estimate: We will propose the scope of work, and what the cost will be.

• Contract/Deposit/Drawings: Once the proposal and estimate is approved, we will send an invoice for a deposit. We begin drawings once we have procured a deposit. Drawings can take up to 7 to 10 business days.

• Drawing Approval/Final Date Set/Fabrication: The client is permitted to make (within reason) revisions as needed to the drawing. Ultimately, the final date set for project end depends on all approvals.

• Balance Due: E. Kraemer, LLC requires balance paid upon delivery unless otherwise noted. Any other terms must be agreed upon by both parties and noted on invoice.

• Delivery/Installation is the responsibility of the buyer, unless otherwise noted. Any other terms must be agreed upon by both parties and noted on invoice.

Throughout the process, we’ll keep you updated with progress photos and communication as your custom piece comes together.

If you have a firm deadline, let us know early so we can assess feasibility.
