From Concept to Installation Support

HOW CREATEK WORKS

Createk can support a project from early concept through design coordination, fabrication, delivery, and installation support. Every project is different — our process adapts around the scope, timeline, and needs of the team.

Realistic Results

Createk's composite features are designed for close-up interaction in demanding commercial, zoo, museum, and themed environments.

Shop-Controlled Fabrication

Most features are built in Createk's facility, sectioned for shipping, and assembled on-site — reducing field time and disruption.

Flexible Engagement

Createk can work from early concept, existing drawings, renderings, reference images, or physical objects. Pricing options include T&M, fixed cost, and full design/build.

Understanding the Project

Concept & Scope

Createk can work from drawings, renderings, concept art, reference images, physical objects, site photos, or early project ideas. Based on a survey and discussions with your team, Createk prepares a narrative statement detailing the overall concept, requirements, and project budget. Once approved, this becomes the formal design specification for the project. 3D computer software is used to give the project team full control of product customization before fabrication begins.

  • ✓Works from drawings, renderings, concept art, or early ideas
  • ✓Narrative design specification and scope definition
  • ✓3D computer visualization
  • ✓Flexible service options: T&M, fixed cost, or full design/build

Understanding the Environment

Site Review & Design Coordination

Where the project site, existing structure, or installation conditions require it, Createk arranges a site visit. Architects, engineers, and project planners meet with the project team to review plans, document conditions, take measurements, and discuss the project in detail. This on-site assessment helps ensure that fabricated components will fit, attach, and integrate correctly with the surrounding environment.

  • ✓On-site assessment by architects and engineers
  • ✓Photo documentation and measurement
  • ✓Collaborative team discussion
  • ✓Identification of structural and attachment requirements

Precision Before Production

Modeling, Shop Drawings & Technical Review

Technical review is tailored to the approved design and project requirements. The team coordinates product weights, design loads, attachment points, supports, and shop drawings with the project team. When stamped drawings are required, Createk coordinates with an appropriately licensed engineering partner for the project's scope and jurisdiction.

  • ✓Shop drawings for the approved project scope
  • ✓Licensed engineering coordination when required
  • ✓Jurisdiction-specific requirements reviewed
  • ✓Loads and attachment points coordinated

Built in Our Facility

Fabrication & Finishing

Once engineering is complete, Createk's team of steel fabricators, sculptors, and molders work in the in-house steel and molding facility. Project components are built in the facility, then cut into modular sections and shipped to the job site. Shop-controlled fabrication reduces field time, limits on-site disruption, and allows for tighter quality control over surface finish, color, texture, and structural performance.

  • ✓In-house steel and molding facility
  • ✓Expert sculptors, fabricators, and finishers
  • ✓Modular construction for efficient shipping
  • ✓Reduced on-site installation time and disruption

From the Shop to the Site

Delivery & Installation Support

Modular sections are shipped to the job site where Createk's installation team completes the project. Because the installed result is the most visible outcome of the entire project, Createk deploys only its most experienced workers for this phase. Once installed, the project is reviewed jointly by the client and Createk teams to confirm the work meets the agreed scope and design intent.

  • ✓Experienced installation crew
  • ✓Modular sections for efficient field assembly
  • ✓Joint client and Createk review at completion
  • ✓Satisfaction confirmed against agreed scope
