If an onsite Wood & Wood Design Consultation is requested, Sparky Potter, the owner and lead designer’s
fee is $100 per hour plus travel time and expenses. Please be advised that the in house design rate for
Sparky Potter is $100.00 per hour and $65.00 per hour for other staff designers.
Sparky Potter’s onsite design consultation begins with rough sketches and digital photos. Quick sketching
allows the gut feelings and ideas from Sparky and your team members to evolve quickly into tangible concepts.
These rough sketches can be immediately be used by the client.
A comprehensive Wood & Wood Design & Fabrication Scope of Service is also included in the design consultation
which can provide the client with an overall review of existing signs and new signs required, followed by the number
of hours of design needed per sign category with high and low ranges of fabrication pricing.
If the Wood & Wood Design & Fabrication Scope is approved, the next design step involves having Sparky refine the
concepts, enter into computer-generated drawings and color compositions for your review and approval.
Once your team approves concepts, Wood & Wood will provide formal drawings. Often to prove the design concepts
will work, the client is provided full size paper layouts and physical prototypes. Sparky considers this essential to the
success of designs, and believes the quality of a design can often be verified through prototypes.
Upon client approval, final drawings are issued to the client. At this time, Wood & Wood can provide firm fabrication
prices. Delivery and installation can also be added to the final bid if requested.
Wood & Wood looks forward to assisting you with design and fabrication of your sign(s) or custom millwork needs.
