We are a collective of highly experienced manufacturers who can combine the technical knowledge of using varied materials with real life experience with customers from retail, design, marketing, architecture and other manufacturing disciplines. Designers will come up with the ideas, our job is to make them possible. Not every ambitious idea is possible in the way it was dreamed up, but we will find the most cost-effective and practical way to reach the results you need to achieve – that’s how we make the impossible possible.

LISTEN
We’ll start every project listening to your objectives, design ideas, budget and timeframes. Through this consultation we’ll set expectations and provide you with next steps. When possible we will follow this up with a quote and draft manufacturing schedule. Material availability is a moving target, and through our preferred supplier network we are constantly assessing this status.
DESIGN
We’ll explore suitable materials and draw up your ideas. Whilst the majority of our customers prefer to provide drawings and specifications we also offer a design service. Within this service we’ll explore suitable materials and draw up your ideas to consider sheet sizes, rigidity, aesthetics and fit-for-purpose. All of this is to ensure the most effective manufacturing process is undertaken. Often we’ll begin selecting samples and may start to make prototypes. This is all carried out to communicate in the best way possible, what you can expect for your final product. We may then agree to make scale or full-sized prototypes to prove concept before you invest in the full manufacture. More accurate cost estimates can be achieved at the completion of this stage and we work closely with you to confirm your order.
BUILD
We select and schedule the manufacture teams that best suit your project. Securing materials is a critical function once the order is confirmed. We select and schedule the manufacture teams that best suit your project. There are often many different steps required in the manufacture of components and this all comes together in the final assembly. Lastly, branding and signage, if applicable, will be applied. Throughout this process we keep you informed of the status of your timeframes and ensure costs are watched closely. This communication is necessary to ensure any changes to your expectations are managed and there are no surprizes.
