At Metalworks Wanaka, we create custom metal sculptures and bespoke metalwork commissions designed around your ideas, space, and vision. Whether you’re looking for a custom steel sculpture, brazier, gate, personalised feature, or another one-of-a-kind metalwork piece for your home, garden, or business, we work closely with you to bring your concept to life. Combining decades of engineering experience with expert metal fabrication and artisan craftsmanship, we carefully guide every project from the initial idea and design through to fabrication, finishing, and delivery. Every custom metal sculpture and commissioned metalwork piece is individually crafted to create a distinctive, durable result that is made specifically for you.
Once you get in touch with Metalworks Wanaka, we’ll start with a friendly conversation about your ideas, vision, and requirements for your custom metalwork project. Whether you have a fully developed concept for a custom metal sculpture or simply the beginning of an idea, we’ll take the time to understand what you want to create. We’ll discuss the type of piece, style, materials, finish, location, budget, and timeframe, helping us shape your vision into a unique metalwork commission designed specifically for your space.
To help us understand your vision and create the right custom metalwork piece for you, we’ll ask a few questions about your project:
We’ll develop initial sketches and design concepts for your custom metal sculpture or bespoke metalwork piece, based on your ideas, available space and preferred style. At this stage, we’ll refine important details such as the materials, dimensions, finish, overall design and budget to ensure the concept meets your requirements. For more complex custom metalwork projects, we can also begin CAD modelling to develop the design in greater detail. CAD modelling may be quoted and invoiced separately depending on the scope of the project.
Together, we’ll refine your custom metal sculpture or bespoke metalwork design until the details, style, materials and finish are right for your project. Once you’re happy with the final design, we’ll confirm the project timeline, pricing and next steps so you know exactly what to expect. You’ll then receive a final quote for your custom metalwork commission, with a 50% deposit required before fabrication and creation begin.
This is where your custom metal sculpture or bespoke metalwork piece takes shape. Steve and the Metalworks Wanaka team carefully source the required materials, prepare the workshop, and transform the approved design into a finished creation. Each piece is expertly cut, shaped, welded, and finished with precision, attention to detail, and artisan craftsmanship, creating a durable and distinctive custom metalwork piece made specifically for your space.
We’ll notify you with the final invoice when your custom metalwork or sculpture is ready. Once payment is received, we’ll organise collection, installation, or freight according to your project requirements. We’ll ensure your custom metal sculpture or bespoke metalwork piece is completed to the highest standard, ready for you to enjoy for years to come. If you’re happy to share a photo of your finished piece in its new home, we’d love to see it, share it with our team, and feature it on our social media channels. It’s a great way to inspire others who are considering commissioning a custom metalwork piece with Metalworks Wanaka.
