    Estimate

    Once we have visited you we can offer a budgetery estimate. This will include an outline of the project, suggested machinery/equipment, lead times and our T&Cs

    Draftsman Visit

    If you are comfortable with the estimate then we will arrange for our draftsman to visit and take more accurate measurements/drawings. This doesn't usually affect the estimate, allows us to more accurately start drawing the project.
    This step is not always necessary, and may be done after recieving a deposit for the project.

    Final Quote

    If a draftsmen visit is required, we will update the estimate to reflect any changes and create a final quote. This is where we will finalise the specification of the project with the customer and agree next steps i.e Deposit payment

    Deposit Payment

    This allows us to get started with the project. Any suggested lead times start from the day of deposit payment.

    Project Management

    Once the deposit is paid, the project will be handed over to a project engineer. They will contact you to introduce themselves and explain the next steps. The PE will keep you up to date on progress and any requirements for sample product/bags for testing.
