Frequently asked questions

What types of public art and sculpture does DEFARA fabricate?

DEFARA fabricates public artworks, large-scale sculptures, monumental installations, commercial artworks, outdoor sculptures and artist-led projects. Our capabilities cover metal, stainless steel, aluminium, fiberglass, resin and mixed-material structures for permanent, temporary and touring installations.

Does DEFARA design public art or only fabricate approved artwork?

DEFARA can work from an approved artistic design or support technical development before fabrication. We help translate sketches, maquettes, renders and digital models into buildable structures while protecting the artist’s original form, proportion, surface character and creative intent.

What materials does DEFARA use for large-scale sculpture fabrication?

Depending on the artwork, location and performance requirements, DEFARA can work with stainless steel, structural steel, aluminium, corten steel, fiberglass, resin, composite materials, timber and mixed-media assemblies. Material recommendations consider visual intent, structural load, durability, maintenance, transport and budget.

Can DEFARA fabricate outdoor and permanent public artworks?

Yes. Outdoor sculpture fabrication can include structural coordination, drainage, access panels, internal support systems, UV-resistant coatings, corrosion protection and weather-resistant finishing. Final engineering and foundation requirements are coordinated according to the installation site and applicable local regulations.

How does DEFARA preserve an artist’s creative intent?

We establish clear approval stages for form, scale, colour, texture and finish. Depending on the project, this may include digital models, physical prototypes, material samples, paint samples and representative production sections before full fabrication begins.

Can large sculptures be shipped internationally

Yes. Large-scale sculptures can be divided into engineered modules for export packing and international shipping. DEFARA can support container planning, lifting points, installation sequencing, delivery documentation and coordination with local contractors or installation teams.

How long does a large-scale sculpture project take?

The programme depends on size, material, structural complexity, finish, approvals and installation requirements. A reliable timeline is normally developed after reviewing the concept, dimensions, site information, required completion date and approval process.

What information is required for a public art fabrication quotation?

Useful information includes concept images, drawings or 3D files, approximate dimensions, preferred materials, installation location, indoor or outdoor use, required completion date, expected fabrication scope and any delivery or installation requirements.
