Project Checklist

What to gather before you request a metal fabrication quote

Projects move faster when the first message includes the basics. This checklist helps you send the information that usually matters most for custom fabrication, welding, railings, repairs, restoration, and mailbox work.

Before you send the request

Take overall photos

Show the full project area from a few angles so the scope is easy to understand.

Capture close-up details

Damage, attachment points, rust, movement, and layout details often matter more than people expect.

Note rough dimensions

Height, width, run length, step count, or part size can make the initial review much more accurate.

Describe the goal

Tell us whether the work is repair, replacement, reinforcement, or new fabrication.

Include location details

City, property type, and access notes all help us review the project in context.

Gather any files you have

Sketches, drawings, sample photos, and markups can all be uploaded if the job is more detailed.

Why this checklist matters

Better first information usually means fewer follow-up questions and a more useful quote conversation. It also helps us decide whether the project should stay in a simple request flow or move into a more detailed upload or RFQ path.

Use the checklist, then send what you have

You do not need a perfect package. Start with the most useful details you can gather and we will take it from there.
