For a quotation-ready custom solid aluminum panel RFQ, send the latest elevation or panel layout, a BOQ or panel schedule, and mark each value as confirmed, provisional or open. This helps every supplier price the same scope instead of filling gaps with different assumptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This checklist is for flat, folded, curved and custom-shaped solid aluminum panels, including perforated panels made from solid aluminum sheet. It does not cover ACP, honeycomb panels, expanded metal mesh or ceiling systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What a Quotation-Ready Panel Schedule Should Include<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Field<\/th>What the buyer should provide<\/th>Why it matters<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Panel mark<\/td>A unique mark for each panel type<\/td>Connects the quotation to the drawing and quantity<\/td><\/tr>
Elevation or zone<\/td>Facade, floor, grid line, entrance, window area or other location<\/td>Shows where the panel belongs<\/td><\/tr>
Drawing reference<\/td>Drawing number, revision and issue date<\/td>Prevents pricing from an outdated layout<\/td><\/tr>
Panel form<\/td>Flat, folded, curved, custom-shaped or perforated from solid sheet<\/td>Defines the fabrication scope<\/td><\/tr>
Dimensions<\/td>Face size, return depth, radius or opening reference where applicable<\/td>Records the geometry being priced<\/td><\/tr>
Quantity<\/td>Pieces by panel mark, plus total area if available<\/td>Makes supplier quotations comparable<\/td><\/tr>
\u049a\u0430\u043b\u044b\u04a3\u0434\u044b\u0493\u044b<\/td>Confirmed value, provisional value or supplier review requested<\/td>Separates a stated requirement from an open item<\/td><\/tr>
Surface finish<\/td>Finish system, colour, gloss and sample status<\/td>Records what is known and what still needs approval<\/td><\/tr>
Interfaces<\/td>Window, glazing, structure, fixing and adjacent trade notes<\/td>Identifies scope that drawings must clarify<\/td><\/tr>
Project and delivery<\/td>Project stage, packing sequence and delivery country<\/td>Gives context for quotation and packing review<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Use the solid aluminum panel specification guide<\/a> for the general product scope. If thickness is still being reviewed, keep that question in the 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 mm thickness guide<\/a> rather than repeating the full explanation in the RFQ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark Every Input as Confirmed, Provisional or Open<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A quotation should not make an open design item look approved. Add one status beside each thickness, return, radius, perforation reference, finish and interface note:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
