Step 1 » Estimating

In order to prepare an initial estimate, we ask that you complete the RFQ (Request for Quote) Form.

Additional required information:

We will need the following to prepare an initial estimate: We have an FTP service available if needed. Plans should be legible and information should include:

Full Size Set of Drawings

• Site location (city, state and zip)
• Site address (if known) and APN (Parcel Number)
• Floor plans with dimensions
• All elevation views (with roof pitches noted)
• Building section(s) showing wall heights and connection details
• Roof Plan
• Projected construction date

Step 2 » The Proposal

The information gathered during Estimating will be used to prepare your Proposal.

We will use your drawings for standard construction detailing and we'll contact you if we need any additional information. Upon completion, we will present you with a Proposal. Upon execution of this Proposal, we can move forward with the drafting process.

Step 3 » Proposal Acceptance

To move forward with your project, forward the following to SIP Supply.

• Signed Proposal
• Payment as specified

Step 4 » Drafting

After Proposal acceptance, SIP Supply will begin the drafting process and review that can take between 2-6 weeks, depending on the detail and quality of drawings initially provided to us and on timelines of review. This process proceeds as follows:

Our SIP designers prepare the first draft and forward to you or your representative (contractor, architect, etc.) for review.

You or your representative thoroughly review the drawings and dimensions and make corrective red-lines; then return these corrections to SIP Supply.

SIP Supply returns revised drawings to you for further review and approval.

Note: Any design changes at this point will require that a change order be signed to reflect the new scope of work and additional charges may be required.

Step 5 » Engineering

Most building jurisdictions require engineering for building projects. SIP Supply outsources engineering to registered professional structural engineers and is performed at an additional expense, unless noted in Proposal.

Step 6 » Final Acceptance

Signed Final Shop Drawings: Once drafting and engineering have been completed, SIP Supply requires signed shop drawings to begin the production process and any additional deposits to be submitted. The signed final shop drawings authorizes SIP Supply to begin production of your order.

Step 7 » Production

The production process typically runs about 3-4 weeks. Once production nears completion, your Project Manager will contact you to verify requested delivery date and other delivery details.

A bill of materials will be formulated and any changes from the original Proposal/Sales Agreement will be adjusted accordingly; otherwise, the package will be shipped according to the original Proposal.

Step 8 » Delivery

Shipping is arranged by SIP Supply at an additional cost. Unless otherwise quoted, shipping is delivered directly to the jobsite. We will quote production/shipping from our nearest factory location to better defray these costs.
