Six lines and a drawing is enough to start. An engineer reads it — not a sales desk — and the first reply is usually a question.
Without these, any figure we give you is a guess, and a guess costs you more later than it saves now.
Country and town. Wind, snow and corrosion all come from the site, not from the drawing.
Crane, mezzanine, silo, conveyor. Each one changes the frame before anything else does.
Length, width, eave height, and how much of the width has to stay clear.
A PDF, a DWG, or a photograph of a sketch on paper. We work from worse than that every week.
Yes, with a caveat: a sketch gets you a scope and a question list. A firm figure needs the dimensions and the loads settled, because span and crane duty move the price more than anything else.

For larger projects we can send a supervisor for the critical weeks. Say so early — it changes the quotation and the visa timeline.
Marked and bundled members, purlins, cladding, fixings, and six documents including the packing list, certificate of origin and loading photographs. The full list is here.
Because two buildings of the same floor area can differ by half. We would rather read your brief and give you a number that holds than publish one that does not.
That is not a delay — it is the part where the money is usually saved.
