Structural calculations and drawings for loading, wind and public safety, ready for planning and building sign-off.
Fixed scope and staged milestones, planned to your construction schedule so the artwork never slips the programme.

Engaged as artist or lead designer: a single point of contact who carries the delivery risk, not you.
Fluent in Section 106 and percent-for-art schemes, working with your design team from concept stage.
Patina care and maintenance guidance on handover, so the work holds its presence for decades.
From £25,000 to £2m+, design-only concepts through to full turnkey delivery.
Discuss your projectFrom a fully original landmark to an established design adapted for your scheme, engaged for the design alone or the entire build. You set the level of involvement; the standard never changes.
A fully bespoke, site-specific work in bronze or steel, created from a blank sheet around your place, brief and architecture. The studio's core service, typically £50,000 to £2m+.
Adapt an existing Charles Elliott design in your choice of material, scale and finish. A faster, lower-risk route to a signature piece with a known form and cost.
Engage the studio for concept and design alone, for your own fabricator, or for the complete build, installation and aftercare. Whatever suits your programme and budget.
Internationally renowned, award-winning British sculptor.
Charles leads and is hands-on at every stage: in the studio alongside his team as the work is made, and on site directing its installation. For a developer, corporate client or private collector, that means one recognised name accountable for the commission, and the assurance that the sculptor who designed the piece is the one who delivers it, on time and on programme.
Discuss a commissionYes. The best public and commercial work is integrated early. The studio joins at concept so scale, siting, material and engineering are resolved with the scheme, not retrofitted to it.
Yes. Charles can be engaged as the artist, or as lead designer managing fabrication, engineering and installation. You get a single accountable point of contact and carry none of the coordination risk.
Work is engineered with structural engineers to meet loading, wind and safety requirements, with the calculations and drawings needed for planning and building sign-off.
Yes. The studio has delivered across the UK, Europe, the USA and the Middle East, handling logistics, craneage, installation and insurance, and installing the work itself.
Feature commissions typically run £25,000 to £250,000+ over 6 to 12 months; landmark installations from £50,000 to £2m+, up to 18 months for the most complex works. Every project value is confidential.
Share the scheme, location and timeframe. Whether the brief is set or you are exploring what is possible, Charles will give you an honest, considered response.
