When you're investing in custom urban outdoor furniture, understanding the lead time is crucial for planning your space. The production timeline for bespoke pieces varies significantly based on several factors including design complexity, materials selected, and current workshop capacity.
Typically, standard custom orders require 6-8 weeks from final design approval to completion. This timeframe includes material sourcing, craftsmanship, quality checks, and preliminary preparations. For more intricate designs requiring specialized materials or unique finishes, lead times may extend to 10-12 weeks.
The process begins with a consultation phase where we finalize your design specifications. This is followed by material procurement, which can take 1-2 weeks depending on availability. The manufacturing phase typically requires 3-4 weeks, while finishing treatments and quality assurance add another 1-2 weeks to the timeline.
Seasonal demand can significantly impact lead times, with spring and summer typically being our busiest periods. We recommend placing custom orders well in advance of your intended installation date, especially for commercial projects or complete outdoor living sets.
Communication remains key throughout the process. We provide regular updates on your order's status and will notify you immediately if any delays occur. For urgent projects, expedited manufacturing may be available, though this depends on current production schedules and may involve additional costs.
Remember that quality craftsmanship cannot be rushed. The attention to detail that makes each piece unique is what ensures your urban outdoor furniture will withstand the elements and provide lasting enjoyment in your outdoor space.
