TOOLS 02 · CHECKLIST

The eleven-input checklist: fill it in, and the quotation is buildable.

This is the same list we use internally. If you can answer eight of the eleven, we can quote firmly; if you can answer four, we can quote with the assumptions written down.

Round tube bundles, stacked in the mill — XinYonSen

Copy this into an email, or use the RFQ page which asks for the same fields in order. The right-hand column tells you what the input changes, so you can decide how hard to argue about it.

Fill in the right column
#	Input	What it changes
1	Covered area and shape	Quantities, loading plan
2	Span and bay	Arch and gutter sections
3	Eaves / gutter height	Post length, bracing, film
4	Load case (snow kg/m², wind m/s)	Wall thickness, spacing, anchors
5	Covering (film / PC / glass)	Purlin spacing, fixings
6	Vent pattern	Vent hardware, purlin gaps
7	Crop support	Rails, wire, bench loads
8	Coating (Z275 / hot-dip)	Process, price, inspection
9	Fittings scope	The BOM
10	Packing and marking	Bundle plan
11	Documents required	What clears customs

Print this page: it is laid out for A4 and the last column is wide enough to write in.

The four that move the price

Items 1–4 usually move a quotation by more than 30 %. If you only have time for four answers, answer those and let the rest be assumptions. We will mark every assumption in the quotation.

One item we will not guess

The load case. If you do not have it, we quote a reference case and say so. Your engineer signs the real one.

The calculator gives you a planning figure. The quotation gives you a price, a packing list and a delivery date.
