The useful introduction

A metal fabrication estimator may receive an inspiring sketch with too little detail to discuss the work responsibly. Tap Tap Go can pair representative projects with an introduction to the estimating process. Show the kinds of work the workshop handles and explain that a portfolio example illustrates capability rather than a fixed price or universal construction detail.

Make the next step clear

Provide a short preparation guide covering dimensions, intended use, material expectations and the status of drawings. Ask the customer to share sensitive project files through an appropriate channel. Clarify whether the discussion concerns design development, fabrication or installation. When the enquiry carries the right context, both sides can identify missing information before treating an early conversation as a complete quotation.

Imagine this

A hypothetical scene

A hypothetical customer wants a custom balustrade. The guide helps them distinguish their visual preference from the measurements and project requirements needed for an estimating discussion.

Make it practical.
