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
