Requesting a Technical Quote for Custom Metalwork

t502-39

A technical quote for custom metalwork is a written proposal based on drawings, measured dimensions and a clear specification of materials and finishes. To get one quickly, send photos, sketches and site details with your inquiry so the factory can measure, draw and confirm the work before production begins.

What a Technical Quote Includes

A technical quote is more than a number. At Techno Kol Uzi, a quote for architectural metalwork describes the item, the materials, the profile sizes, the finish and the installation method. Designers receive it together with a drawing so that the intent is clear on both sides.

Scope of work and product type
Materials such as iron, aluminum, glass or stainless steel
Finish, for example hot-dip galvanizing or powder coating
Installation responsibilities and site requirements

Having these items in writing protects the project and makes later changes easier to track.

Preparing Your Inquiry

The more information you send at the start, the more accurate the technical quote will be. Include photos of the location, rough dimensions, the design direction and any reference images from your project. If the element has to match an existing style, say so and attach a close-up of the detail.

Mention the intended use as well, such as a balcony railing, a facade screen or an interior partition. Use and exposure affect the choice of profile, thickness and protection.

On-Site Measurement

Measurement is the step that most affects fit. Our team visits the site to check openings, slab edges, wall conditions and levels. Measurements are taken on site rather than from drawings alone, because built conditions often differ from plans.

Points to check before the visit

Access to the area and any site restrictions
Existing fixings, anchors or structural elements
Finished floor and wall levels where they are known

Clear access on the day saves time and reduces the need for return visits.

Drawings and Written Specification

After measurement, we prepare a drawing and a written specification. The drawing shows the geometry, joints, fixing points and key dimensions. The specification lists materials, finishes and any special details agreed with the designer. Where structural or safety requirements apply, exact values are confirmed with the responsible engineer rather than assumed.

Please review both documents carefully and return written comments, as they form the basis of production.

Approval and Production

Once you approve the drawing and specification, the work moves into production at our factory on Rival Street in Tel Aviv. Cutting, welding, forming and assembly are carried out to the approved drawings. Finishing follows, using hot-dip galvanizing or powder coating depending on the material and location.

Changes after approval are possible but may affect the quote and schedule, so it is best to settle details before production starts.

Installation and Handover

Installation is planned against the site conditions confirmed during measurement. Our crew checks the fixing method, levels the element and makes final adjustments on site. Where other trades are working nearby, coordination is agreed in advance so that finishes are protected.

At handover, we review the installation with the designer or site representative and note any items that need attention. This closes the loop between the quote, the drawing and the finished work.

Frequently asked questions

What do I need to send with a quote request?

Send photos of the location, rough dimensions, your design references and a short description of how the element will be used. This lets the factory give a more accurate technical quote.

Do you measure on site before quoting?

Yes, on-site measurement is part of the process for accurate fit. The drawing and specification are prepared after the visit, based on the confirmed dimensions.

Can I change the design after approval?

Changes are possible, but they may affect the quote and production schedule. It is best to finalize details in the drawing and specification before production starts.

How are finishes chosen?

The finish depends on the material and exposure. Hot-dip galvanizing and powder coating are common options, and we recommend the most suitable one during the specification stage.

Common mistakes to avoid

Sending only a sketch without dimensions or site photos often leads to delays and revisions. Approving drawings without checking fixings, finishes and installation responsibilities can cause problems on site.

Our recommendation

Include the intended use, the exposure (indoor, balcony or facade) and any reference details with your first inquiry. Review the drawing line by line before approving, since it becomes the basis for production.

Summary

A good technical quote for custom metalwork starts with a complete inquiry, an accurate on-site measurement and an approved drawing with a clear specification. Following this sequence keeps the project on track from production to installation.
