What files to send for a quote

You do not need a full set of drawings to get a quote: a drawing, a photo or a hand sketch is enough to start. This guide explains which formats we accept, what is worth including for what you need, and what happens after you send the request.

The formats

Through the quote form we accept PDF, DWG, DXF, JPG and PNG: up to 10 files, of 25 MB each at most. If a file is in another format, the form marks it and asks you to remove it; if it does not finish uploading, just remove it and add it again. You can also send us photos and drawings on WhatsApp.

Which format for what

PDF works for drawings that are already printed or exported, with their dimensions. DWG and DXF are drawing files: they are the best for laser cutting and façades, because they carry the exact lines. JPG and PNG are for photos, renders and screenshots, and also for a photo of a hand sketch.

Depending on what you need

For a structure or an industrial building: the use, the approximate measurements and the location of the plot. For a roof: photos of the current roof and its approximate length and width. For an electrical panel: the list of equipment it will feed or a photo of the panel you want to replace. For a façade or a cut-pattern panel: the façade drawing or a photo of the front, and the design you like. For a maintenance plan: photos of what needs looking after.

Photos that help

One general photo, taken from a distance, to see the whole, and another close up of the detail that matters. If you can, leave something in the photo that gives scale, such as a door, and write next to it the measurements you know. One photo in daylight helps more than several at night.

The form, in three steps

First you tell us what you need and where the site is, and describe your project. Then you attach the drawing, the photo or the sketch. Finally you leave your name and WhatsApp and, if you wish, your email and company. When you send it you receive a request number: mention it if you call or write to us.

What happens next

With what you send we design the piece in 3D, our engineering team reviews it and we send you a clear price, with what it includes and the delivery time. If something is missing, we ask you for it; if measuring is needed, we take the measurements on your site with digital equipment.
