Any request for a casting or fabrication bid on monumental or life size sculpture should include the following information:
Photos from several angles showing detail and overall composition.
If an enlargement is required, dimensions of the original maquette and projected dimensions of the finished enlargement.
The desired casting metal and a clear description of the final finish and patina.
Engineering and building code requirements, including support inner structure, and mounting or installation needs.
The medium (e.g. wax, clay, wood, or stone) of the original to be molded, and whether it needs to be kept whole, or can be disassembled as part of the molding process.
Edition size, and any other factors that may affect the desired longevity of the mold.
Any production or installation schedules or deadlines, and whether delivery and installation services are required.
ORNAMENTAL METAL BIDS
Valley Bronze welcomes the opportunity to participate as a potential ornamental or miscellaneous metals subcontractor in competitively bid construction projects of any magnitude. We believe we have a special niche in undertaking such work because we combine the ability to do ornamental casting and fabrications, working in many different metals, all under one roof.
