FAQs

Pricing is not fixed per product only — it is influenced by multiple project-specific factors such as surface area, design complexity, mosaic type, material selection, customization level, and installation conditions.

For example, a simple repeating pattern wall will be priced differently than a custom-designed feature installation with mixed materials or curved surfaces. We also consider project scale — larger projects may benefit from tiered trade pricing.

All pricing is shared transparently before commitment, including material costs, production considerations, and any applicable customization charges, so you can confidently present accurate figures to your clients.

We actively support design development when required. This includes helping you refine mosaic layouts, advising on pattern scaling, suggesting material combinations, and checking feasibility for specific surfaces.

For complex projects, we can review drawings or references and provide feedback on installation practicality, grout lines, transitions, and visual continuity.

This is especially useful in hospitality, feature walls, lobbies, bathrooms, and high-detail architectural elements where execution accuracy is critical.

Yes. We can provide technical guidance that helps bridge communication between designers and installation teams. This may include installation notes, recommended surface preparation guidelines, material handling advice, and layout direction for installers.

For larger projects, we can also support coordination discussions to reduce errors during on-site execution. The goal is to ensure that what is designed is realistically achievable during installation.

The program is best suited for projects where mosaics are used as a design feature rather than basic surface finishing. This includes luxury residential interiors, hotel and hospitality spaces, commercial feature walls, spa and wellness environments, retail flagship stores, and custom architectural installations.

It is especially valuable in projects where design consistency, material accuracy, and detailing are critical to the final outcome.

Ideally, during the concept or schematic design stage. Early involvement allows us to guide material selection, confirm feasibility, and help you avoid design changes later in the process.

However, we also support mid-stage and pre-installation phases where specifications are already developed but require validation or refinement.

Yes. Trade partners working across multiple projects can receive consolidated support, especially for firms managing parallel residential or commercial work. We help prioritize timelines, organize material requirements across projects, and maintain clear communication for each active specification.

After submitting your application and portfolio, our team reviews your professional background and project relevance. We evaluate whether your work aligns with trade-level specification needs.

If approved, you’ll receive onboarding details, access to trade materials, and direct support channels. In some cases, we may request additional project information before final approval to better understand your scope of work.

Yes. Many designers use our support during client presentations to validate material choices, improve confidence in specifications, and present more refined design options. We can assist with material descriptions, usage suggestions, and visual direction so you can communicate ideas more effectively to clients.
