The current project I am working on is calling for 6 copper cupolas to be provided. And of course, they are a standard off the shelf item - custom design. Well the cost of these things are $98,000. I need to find something similar - possibly wood even. Does anyone have or seen plans/pictures for these things that I can print and give to the architect? I've been looking for plans - and I found a square box with a hip roof.. a tad blah for this house.. haha.
I appreciate any help.

I was working with an older sheetmetal guy who said his son travells all over North America puting on copper roof on churches and federal buildings. Our shop also used to make copper stuff for people buy not that fancy. So what I'm saying is that a any competent sheetmetal shop can make it and there are companies that deal in nothing but complicated copper stuff.
Don't know if that helped solve anything for you or not.

Not really.. haha..
But you've given me another direction that I hadn't considered.. I've only been looking for roofers to make the contracting portion of it easier.. I'll redirect to fab shops and see if we can drum anything up. Thanks.
