Requesting a quote for services

When you request a quote by email or through our website, we will contact you to verify the details of your inquiry and discuss your needs in greater detail. After which, we will provide you with an estimate of service costs that will be valid for 30 days from the date of issuing the quote.

Any deviations from the initial parameters that you have specified in the quote request, (for example, if you later request additional items or services, or require a faster delivery), will render the quote void, and we will provide you with an updated quote.

A quote does not guarantee that we are in business with each other. This comes after we both sign a service agreement that states the scope of the project, list of deliverables, timeline and payment terms. 

Our products

We provide a number of unique, limited edition design and engineering-related products and works of Art that are the result of our in-house generative research projects and collaborations with like-minded designers, artists, and engineers. Check out our Products section for more details. To place an order, you will be redirected to our sister website http://kdc-makers.com where you can also view our entire list of products.

Prices

Service prices are not stated on the website because they are calculated based on many parameters such as time and project complexity. We can provide you with the prices once you request a quote.

Product prices include VAT (where applicable). Depending on the value of your order or the delivery option or location, additional delivery costs may be charged and will be clearly shown during checkout. See http://kdc-makers.com/terms-and-conditions for more details.

Partnerships & Collaborations

We welcome partnerships with businesses, organizations, and individuals who share our vision for a sustainable future and professional work ethic. We believe in supporting our colleagues and playing an active role in the betterment of our industry. Having said that, when we advocate for a third-party product, service, or entity on our site, it is because we have first-hand experience and/or dealings with them and believe them to be genuine and of good value.

Reach out to us if you would like us to test your products or services, or collaborate with us on a project.

Artists may submit proposals for work that they would like to sell through us, directly on our sister website http://kdc-makers.com/collaborations.
