New version of Scope-based pricing*

Project status:
Your project has been approved for scheduling. Once you know the installation date, complete the section below & press "Search for Installers."

Our goal is to keep projects running smoothly. Here are a couple of things to think about regarding scheduling.
- If the installation is scheduled too far in advance, there's a greater chance that it'll be rescheduled, which may affect the installer's availability.
- Installations should be scheduled after the dust has settled to keep the pieces clean. Consider art installation part of the "punch list."
- Projects run smoothly when art providers work directly with the installers for scheduling and design issues.
- Installers should take pictures of their work and send them to you when the project has been completed.
- Keep us in the loop to stay on top of things before they become issues.
- When the project has been confirmed to be complete, we'll pay the installer & invoice you.
Thank you for helping to keep the project running smoothly!
The recruitment process will begin once we've updated the database with the most recent installations. You'll be introduced to the available installers so you can interview them.

Thank you for the opportunity to help!
When the form is submitted, an AIN rep will be notified and will double-check the estimate generated. We'll keep you informed of the project's status throughout.

Form Instructions:

Navigate with the "tab" key or by clicking on the entry. Clicking on your browser's "back" arrow will begin a new form. Click on Leah in the bottom right corner if you have any other questions about the process or AIN.

When you submit the form, someone will be notified to verify the price. Afterward, if the project is to move forward, simply return to the form and complete the section referring to the date. Clicking on the box that confirms the "facility is ready for the art" will initiate letters being sent to the installers nearest to the project. You'll be introduced to the installers with the highest number of completed projects. Ideally, this will be the best installer available. AIN will offer feedback but will not be responsible for the installers, who are independent contractor, not affiliates with AIN.

With {countdownOf} days until the project's installation is to begin, we need to check availability before quoting a price. Thank you for completing the form so we can relay a project's details to the installers we're contacting.

Be sure to provide the best number to reach you (next screen).
It can be a challenge to recruit an installer for a project that's a long ways away. It may be unrealistic to expect an installer to reserve a date that's {countdownOf} days away, especially if that date is a moving target. If you feel the quoted price is reasonable, let us know. If we don't know of an installer in the {region} area, we'll start looking for one. If we're already working with someone there, we'll notify them that a job is pending. Please confirm the project's status and get back to us as the date approaches.

Can we touch base around the 3-4 weeks from the install date?

What's the difference between an Art "Handler" and an Art "Installer"? An argument for performance-based compensation.

Show
What's the difference between an Art Handler and an Art Installer? The most consequential is how their earnings are calculated.

Art Handlers work with fine art, artifacts, and other high-value pieces that must be handled with care. Earnings are based on time because that payment structure reinforces slow, meticulous work. The slower an art handler works, the more they earn.

Art Installers work with lower-value pieces, which due to timelines, must be installed quickly. Earnings are based on the number of pieces installed because that payment structure reinforces fast work. The faster an art installer works, the more they earn.

With those facts in mind, we created pricing structures for art installation services based on a price per piece (PPP). The average earnings per hour, divided by the average number of pieces installed per hour, yields an average price per piece.

But there's a problem: Some installers charge an high hourly wage for services, and their reasoning for that price is that "they're very fast". However, extrapolating from the postulates above, we know that: The higher the hourly wage, the less the motivation to work quickly. But they'll typically respond that the high amount offsets times when their pay isn't fair - when they're unable to install at their "normal, fast speed", setting up the argument that their time alone has value, as if they were a lawyer. They cite working with designers, installing complex groupings, and being stifled by unscheduled down-time as examples of when they're not being paid fairly.

The solution: Scenarios that result in decreased installer productivity are offset with an increased price per piece. This applies to all work-related situations, such as when working with over-sized or elevated pieces, installing into concrete or plaster, installing in occupied facilities, or working as an "assistant" to interior designer. And what of the unscheduled down-time that's NOT WORK RELATED? If there is no work being performed, because of a situation that isn't work-related, who gets billed for that time? The client? Is that how one shows appreciation?

AIN was founded by a former art provider of 35 years and a former art installer of 15. Our position: In order to maintain control over installation costs and maximize incentives, art providers need installation services to be based on a project's scope, not an installer's time. A PPP compensation structure accomplishes these goals without short-changing installers. Pay based on performance is equitable.

The form below calculates the cost of labor on a per-piece basis in multiple settings and scenarios.

Security hardware placement.

The positioning of frame-side hardware significantly impacts completion times. For each piece, installers must measure both vertically (to determine elevation) and horizontally (to line up the wall-side). When dealing with multiple frame sizes, these measurements may need to be done for each piece. To minimize time spent measuring, a consistent placement of hardware is essential. Brackets should be attached relative to the center of the pieces rather than the corners. Some framers refer to these pieces as being attached via template.
The frame-side hardware is attached:

relative to frame's centerrelative to frame's edge
It's assumed pieces w/ the same dimensions will have consistent hardware placement, so click "relative to frame's center".

Facings

The type of facing significantly affects the projected completion time, particularly with plexiglass. Due to their lightweight nature, plexiglass pieces can be installed more quickly than those with glass facing. Concerning the {Of2162} framed pieces mentioned above, what type of facing do they utilize?

About liability insurance:

3Art Installer Network is registered as an IT company, offering cloud-based services such as estimating, database management, recruiting, email notification, installer payments, and client billing. Its liability insurance covers malware, data security, and intellectual property, but does not cover installation services. The installers we introduce are independent contractors, and in no way are they affiliated with Art Installer Network.

Installers carry their own liability insurance, either professional (as an interior designer) or general (as someone in the framing or construction industry). Either way, without an appraisal, neither will not cover the art's replacement value, though they may cover the glass, frames, mattes, prints, damage to the facility, or personal injury.
Installers are not employees or sub-contractors of A.I.N. and are not covered by A.I.N's liability insurance.*

Once we've received the request, if there are any questions, we'll look at the project's scope and the installers in the region, then estimate a market-sensitive cost for labor and transportation.

An estimate of cost is not a guarantee of availability. But given the size of our database, it's rare that we cannot locate someone to help. Please include the estimated installation date above if the installation is within the next few weeks. We don't want to estimate a cost if we cannot find an available installer.

You'll receive an email with further details and a link back to this form for when you want to schedule the project.

We polled visitors to our website and asked them to describe a good installer. Respondents used words like "mechanical," "analytical," "methodical," "ethical," "punctual," & of course, "professional."

Nobody chose "economical".

When asked of an installer's pace (pieces per hour), some respondents said it should be "fast" as long as the installation was accurate, while most said it should be "reasonable", as long as the installation was accurate. We understood.

With those responses mind, looking at past projects, calculating installation rates, taking notes of the settings, occupancy status, hardware, wall composition, piece sizes, elevations, and of course the number of pieces to be installed, including the time spent unpacking, staging, inventorying, placing the pieces at predetermined locations, completing pre- and post-installation walk-throughs, installing into drywall at predetermined elevations not requiring a ladder, leaving the work area cleaner than it was found, taking photographs of the completed project, with a day's worth of work packed into a Gaylord box, we propose the following installation rates to be "reasonable":

As a baseline:
- {1ptRate} pcs./hr. via saw-tooth hardware, depending on elevation;
- {wire_rate} via pcs./hr. via hook-to-wire, assuming consistent tautness of wire;
- {dring_rate} pcs./hr. via hook to D-ring, assuming consistent hardware placement;
- {buddies_rate} pcs./hr. via "Corner Buddies";
- {3pt_rate} pcs./hr. via 3-point t-screw hardware, depending on hardware placement;
- {4pt_Rate} pcs./hr. via 4-point t-screw hardware, depending on hardware placement;
- 1 to 4 acrylics/DiBond/BHF pieces, depending on the number of contact points, and whether a sealant/filler is used.
