The creation of a sculptural project in granite can be a very straightforward, relatively simple process as follows.

1. Approach: Sculptor and client discuss concept and design, as well as budget requirements and time frame of the project.
2. The Handshake: Finalize design, model approval, acceptance of proposal, initial deposit.
3. Rough Stage: Acquire materials, create scale model, schedule phases, rough shapes and dimensions.
4. Progress: Developmental phase, form becomes evident, client reviews progress and prepares site, discussion of transport arrangements, and delivery schedule.
5. Late Stage: Details, texture, polish, and refine features.
6. Finish: Client final approval, schedule and coordinate destination arrangements (crane, lift equipment), and transportation.
7. Installation: Supervised by sculptor, fit, finish, and clean.
