Our workshop, which is located at The Odyssey Centre, Birkenhead, has dedicated fabrication and model making facilities and benefits from an associated design studio.  The workshop location provides excellent transport links to the local motorway network.

Our philosophy is to design and produce highly creative works using quality materials, fabricated to the highest standards. Projects are normally preceded by a period of consultation which provides an opportunity to ensure that local opinion is understood, proposed themes are relevant, potential controversy is avoided and that a sense of local ownership in the work is engendered.

Cammdesign have completed consultation with the many groups including the general public, community and interest groups, the commercial sector, residents and trade associations and are also experienced in preparing and delivering workshops to children and youth groups.

Equally, we are experienced in liaising with design teams, planning officers, access officers, steering groups and environmental services in order to resolve practical issues including project management and Public Health and Safety.  Maintenance of close working links with a range of design/construction professionals is essential in order to coordinate the crossover of interests between their work and ours.

Public art must be creative, dynamic, popular, relevant to its site, safe and completed on time and to budget. It must also offer the commissioner finished art work that has simple and cost effective future maintenance implications.
