Project Intake

CAD & Sketch Intake

A smoother fabrication process starts with a cleaner handoff. Good photos, readable markups, accurate dimensions, and a short note about timing help us review the request faster.

Accept CAD files, sketches, and markups for fabrication review. That means the work starts with the real condition, the way the metalwork will be used, and the finish or appearance the project needs when it is done.

Why better intake saves time

Good results come from clear scope, realistic material choices, and a process that matches the project instead of forcing generic assumptions onto it.

Reduce follow-up questions

The clearer the file package, the easier it is to understand the scope on the first review.

Catch fit issues earlier

Drawings, markups, and photos help flag field conditions before they turn into delays.

Questions we hear before quoting

Can I upload phone photos only?

Yes. Clear phone photos are often a good starting point for repair work and simple fabrication needs.

Do you need CAD files for every job?

No. CAD helps on more detailed projects, but many smaller jobs can start from photos and a marked-up sketch.

What file details help most?

Dimensions, material notes, finish preferences, site constraints, and an easy-to-read scope summary.
