If you pay someone to make them for you it will be extremely expensive. For a one off aluminum boxes would be cheapest- the more complex the shape you make it the more costly it will be (and possibly more fragile). Make what you want in cardboard first to get the bugs out. Things like taking it off and putting it back on can be worked out best using that cardboard model. You'll also get to realize the difficulties of making more complex shapes. There is an advertiser here how may help - Overland Solutions...
It will be far cheaper (and possibly more robust) to find something close and adapt it. Boxes in both plastic (eg pelican cases/otter boxes) or aluminum are available in various sizes. Try not to go with the boxes made for less demanding tasks .. things like aluminum photographic cases tend to fall apart on a motorcycle. If you want to use more of the space .. try two normal boxes of the appropriate sizes (large on the out side and the smaller one inside) and simply bolt them together.
Or you can develop your own DIY skills by making your own ... do the smallest/simplest one first so it is the cheapest one to make mistakes on.
