Detailed Documents for Confident Tendering

With experience spanning both design and workshop construction, we offer a comprehensive understanding of how ideas translate into reality. Using our services during the tendering process will help you balance artistic vision with technical precision, ensuring crafted ironwork that upholds design integrity, delivers practical excellence, and is built to last.

“Great design is about more than overall form—a piece’s charm lies in the subtle details, the craftsmanship that gives it life, character, and a certain je ne sais quoi. That’s why I’m just as passionate about how it’s made as how it looks.”
– Bethan Griffiths

Including our reports, concept designs, technical drawings, and tailored specifications in tender packages removes ambiguity, setting clear expectations. This enables like-for-like comparison of tenders, more effective budget management, and safeguards against well-intentioned but inappropriate work—especially vital in restoration work.

  • Concept Drawings – Establishing clear and refined visual direction
  • Technical Design – Fine-tuned to ensure high standards of craftsmanship
  • Ironwork Specifications – Defining workmanship and material standards to guide procurement and reduce risk

As an independent consultancy, we are not tied to any one workshop. Instead, we draw on a network of suppliers and master craftspeople – selecting the best people for the job based on an understanding of their individual strengths.

“The Ironwork Studio produced a design which was both creative and appropriate. Crucially it was also sensitive to the design rationale of the new building itself. The technical drawings and specifications were handled as sensitively as the design and the finished project has been greatly admired.”

– Jonathan Carter, Main Board Director of Rolfe Judd Architecture
