The Custom Mural Process

Creating a custom mural can be a wonderful experience. A good business relationship creates a clear understanding of the requirements and proposed final outcome. I have steps that help to assure your experience is good and the outcome is what you desire.

Customer Consultation Request

This is where we start: Contact me via email or through my website to set up a first consultation. The more information I receive beforehand the more productive our first meeting will be.

No Charge First Consultation

In the first meeting, I gain preliminary knowledge of the requirements and ideas for your mural project. You gain insight into the mural creation process. The first consultation includes:

  - Reviewing your requirements and ideas for the mural

  - Reviewing design concepts and themes

  - Reviewing the size and complexity of the mural

  - Reviewing a very rough cost and schedule estimate

The cost / schedule estimates are very rough at this point and are based on mural size, mural complexity and past experience. The estimate will give you a general idea of what this type of project will cost.

If you choose to continue with your project, I will prepare a preliminary statement of work and schedule. In this I will include:

  - The process I plan to use to create the mural

  - A preliminary estimate of the project cost and timeframe

  - A basic understanding of potential design themes and

  - A clear understanding of the steps going forward

Mural Design and Contract Proposal

A $100 non refundable deposit will be needed to create a sketch of your mural and to draw up a written contract for the total amount.

This deposit will be applied to total cost of the mural

Mural Creation

After the contract is signed we will move ahead with the mural. If there are any questions or concerns on either side we will discuss those as quickly as possible to avoid any loss of time or money.

Project Changes

There are times there are changes you would like to make to the project plan I try to remain very flexible to the final contract so most of the time minor changes will not affect the cost of the project. . However, adding more detail or changing work that is already in process almost always increases the time I spend on the mural. If this is the case I will type up a change order contract which will cover any additional expenses.
