What to expect and how to manage your budget 

Creating a Budget

To Achieve Your Goal 

Ideally, the rule of thumb for budgeting artwork for large scale projects is to allot 1% of the construction budget to art placement. Our budgets have routinely come in at 1/3 of 1% of the construction budget. Using this formula will enable us to combine commissioned art with reproductions that will be finished on various substrates. 

​

Our first consideration is to provide optimum coverage in a project while meeting or beating the given budget. With this philosophy, it has been standard practice that we do not charge design fees. Our compensation comes from our sources - artists, publishers, and framers - not our clients.
