How to order a custom cast piece

Most of what we make starts as someone else’s idea. Here is what to send us and what happens next.

Custom bollard carrying three cast coffee-bean planters

What to send

  • A drawing, a sketch, a CAD file or a photo of something you like
  • The overall size
  • How many pieces you need
  • Where it will be installed
  • The colour or finish, if you already know it

1. You send a drawing

We reply with a price and a lead time.

2. We draw it for casting

You approve a shop drawing with sizes, joints and fixings before anything is made.

3. We build the mould and cast

You can approve a sample of the finish and colour first.

4. We deliver and install

Pieces arrive ready to fix, with our crew on site.

Custom pieces we have made

The double-curved saucer edge of the Jimma Sini, the planter bollards at Haya Arat and the coffee-bean bollards for Jimma all started as an idea or a drawing.

Questions we get asked

Can you make a one-off piece?

Yes. One-off pieces are welcome, in any size and any finish.

Do I need a finished technical drawing?

No. A sketch or a reference photo is enough to start. We produce the shop drawing for your approval.

Which material will you use?

We choose between GFRC and UHPC to suit the piece. Thin shells and shaped pieces are usually GFRC. Slender parts that carry load are UHPC.

Keep looking

Let’s cast something.

Any size, any finish, and one-off pieces are welcome.
