Asked before the brief, answered plainly.

What clients, architects, and developers want to know before they send us a project: costs, warranties, lead times, and how the work actually runs. If your question isn't here, call.

Working with Element Designs

Does Element design, or also fabricate and install?

One contract covers design, engineering, and fabrication, and we coordinate the logistics and installation details with your team. Most clients work with their own installer; if you don't have one, we can recommend licensed, insured installation partners. We stay accountable from the first sketch through ongoing maintenance.

Do you work on commercial and residential projects?

Both, with a focus on high-end commercial work (luxury hotels, resorts, spas, golf clubs, restaurants, and nightlife), alongside select luxury residences.

How do projects typically start?

Send your dimensions, drawings, or a brief through the project form. We review scope and return a written estimate, then move into design development and engineering.

Specialty pools & spas

What is the warranty on the pool shell?

Our specialty pool shells carry a 10-year warranty against water loss from structural fracture or cracking due to manufacturing defects, plus a 5-year warranty on tile adhesion when Element Designs supplies the tile, adhesive, and grout.

Why your pool system instead of concrete or stainless steel?

Our advanced structural specialty pools are a fraction of the weight of stainless steel or concrete, and they ship leak-tested with an insulated closed-cell-foam and structural-panel shell (R-30). That makes rooftop, elevated, and underground installations practical, with faster install and lower long-term maintenance.

Bubble walls & venues

How much does a commercial bubble wall cost?

Cost depends on dimensions, configuration (wall, column, or bar top), and lighting. Most commercial bubble walls are priced per project after a brief scoping call. Send your dimensions and we'll return a written estimate.

Are bubble walls safe for a busy venue?

Yes. The acrylic panels are shatterproof and the AquaBar® top is protected by a glass surface, so it withstands heavy use without scratching.

Can a bubble wall match our brand colors?

Yes. The RGB-LED system is programmable to specific colors and color sequences, and can be set to hold any single color or run a timed show.

Waterwalls, fountains & installation

How long does a custom waterwall take to deliver?

Lead time depends on size and finish. We will provide an estimated lead time within our proposal. Shop drawings are prepared initially and require approval prior to starting fabrication. We test each system before it ships.

How much maintenance does a waterwall need?

We design for low, predictable upkeep: accessible pumps, water treatment, and optional maintenance plans. We provide operational and maintenance manuals for all projects.

Do you work from an architect's concept or design from scratch?

Both. We collaborate from a sketch or a finished design package, providing engineering, shop drawings, and renderings to carry the concept through fabrication and installation.

Can a fountain be choreographed to music?

Yes. Dynamic fountains are programmed through variable-frequency drives with synchronized lighting, and can be choreographed to music through a control panel.

Landscape furnishings & sculpture commissions

How do landscape furnishings stand up to coastal weather?

Membranes, cables, and anchorage are engineered as one system for coastal wind loads, and structures are fabricated in aluminum and hardwood, then finished for salt air. We coordinate installation with your installer or a licensed, insured partner we recommend, and we stand behind every structure season after season.

Can a sculpture commission include the water feature beneath it?

Yes. Many commissions pair sculpture with a reflection pool or fountain, delivered as one contract, engineered for wind and anchored to structure, with installation coordinated with your installer or a licensed, insured partner we recommend.

Bring us the space. We'll bring the showpiece.

Send your dimensions, drawings, or just an idea, and we'll come back with a detailed written estimate.
