Custom fabrication becomes harder to change once cutting and assembly begin. A clear drawing or specification helps both sides agree on the finished item.
What to check
Confirm dimensions, materials, fixing points and the intended finish. For structural or safety-critical work, use qualified design and inspection. Ask whether transport and installation are included and identify site access constraints. Approve changes in writing and inspect the completed item against the agreed specification before accepting it.
Questions to ask
- Are dimensions formally approved?
- Which material specification applies?
- How will the finished item be checked?
Compare written proposals against the same brief
Give shortlisted providers the same description and ask them to identify exclusions. Separate assessment, labour, materials and any follow-up that applies. A lower total is difficult to judge if it leaves essential work unspecified. Agree who can approve changes and how the finished job will be checked. For work affecting safety or structural performance, use the appropriate qualified professionals and required approvals throughout, not only after a problem appears.
