BEFORE REQUESTING A QUOTE
What is ready?
What is unresolved?
A useful brief records both. A drawing is a starting point; the part’s environment, mating interfaces and acceptance responsibility give it meaning.
Review the decision sequence →Minimum brief checklist
- Application and proposed quantity
- Current drawing or model revision
- Critical fit, surface or datum
- Material and finish decisions
- Named design-owner approval
