2 What to Expect with AMICO
We typically provide design support throughout your process, and we manufacture materials to order for your design. AMICO can provide support with attachment guidance, trim details, and finish selection as you work toward a final specification. Then, everything will arrive at your job site cut and finished, with attachment hardware, ready to install.
3 Pricing
Each design has its nuance, but we are happy to provide rough budget pricing upon request if you have a general direction for your design. After you have a design on paper, if you have PDF line drawings to scale, we can provide a formal quote so you know where you stand with your budget.
4 Mockups and Samples
Our customers are sometimes surprised by the scale of our products, especially our meshes. If you want to see and feel the samples yourself, please click here.
When groundbreaking nears and you require large-scale samples with precise color and fabrication details, we can coordinate with the awarded installers to create mockups.
5 Shop Drawings and Engineering Stamping
As projects reach the later stages, AMICO provides shop drawings that the architect and installer both sign off on. Likewise, we use engineering resources to stamp all plans to ensure safety.
