PUBLIC ART
We help artists to make their visions into reality, relying on an acute control and awareness of cost, schedule, and an engineering acumen that starts by proposing solutions to the myriad what-if’s that come with artistic creation. For public art projects we provide two different service packages, and most often work directly for an artist, though occasionally we work for a museum or commissioning agency.
On the front end, we offer Design Optimization services which include complete architectural and engineering documentation, development of critical path timeline and cost control documents, and identification / sourcing of any specialized components, fabricators, manufacturers, etc.
On the back end, we provide Construction Management services with a high level of control over all subcontractors and suppliers under the artist, from the beginning of construction through completion. We also act as an artist’s liaison to all other professional parties, such as architects, engineers, contractors, building owners, building code officials, etc. This allows our clients to stay focused on the artwork, and their next project. We take pride in protecting the artist’s conceptual clarity and intention of the work, as well as their fee—which is set aside in the cost control document at the beginning and never touched.
