Find Makers

FAQ for Designers

Do I have to be a Designer to look for Makers?+

Find Makers is trade-only. To post a project or work with a maker, you'll need a trade account, which means your firm's business license, resale certificate, or trade certificate and your design credentials. If you're a homeowner looking for a custom piece, we recommend working with an interior designer, who can specify it and commission it through Find Makers.

What if no one sends an estimate?+

If you did not get the response you were looking for, send us an email. We'll help find a Maker that can take on your project. Not all projects will get multiple estimates and this is not a service to find the cheapest option. This is to connect Designers to Makers to fulfill a custom, high-end need for to-the-trade.

What is the benefit of reaching out to Makers on Find Makers website?+

By reaching out to Makers through Find Makers, you can review invoices from one or multiple Makers, pay for services and products, open projects up for estimates, and make sure that you're getting the best quality service. If you are not sure who to reach out to, by communicating through our website we can help get you the best experience and ensure your needs are met.

What's needed to place an order with a Maker?+

Commissions are paid in two parts: a deposit when you approve the maker's quote, and the balance on completion. Timing, including when work starts, is set in the quote terms you and your Maker agree on. To receive your item, you must approve materials, drawings and final photos then make the final payment.

What happens if I can not get a hold of a Maker I've ordered pieces from?+
