# Request quotes from metal fabricators

A service that sends your request to vetted shops is not live. Use this checklist when you contact shops directly, or send a project inquiry. The inquiry does not contact shops or return a quote.

## Include in every request

- Drawings or sketches with dimensions (PDF, DXF, or STEP if you have them)
- Material and grade, and thickness or gauge
- Quantity, and whether repeat orders are likely
- Finish: raw, painted, powder coated, galvanized, polished
- Tolerances that actually matter
- Delivery address, date, and whether you need installation
- Any required certifications or documentation

## Project inquiry

Send notes about a job. This is an inquiry to Best Fabricators. It does not contact shops or return a quote.

Name is required, plus an email or a phone number. Optional fields: metro or city, and project notes.
