Step 1 » Estimating
In order to prepare an initial estimate, we ask that you complete the RFQ (Request for Quote) Form. We will need the following information to prepare an initial estimate. You can read about additional information needed for your Quote to be processed here.
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. This is the period where we review your specifications and match your project with the best Panel based on price, quantity needed and quality of product. This may include multiple quotations. Upon completion, we will present you with a Proposal.
Step 3 » Proposal Acceptance
To move forward with your project, forward the following to SIP Supply.
- Choose your Panel
- Sign Proposal
- Submit Payment as specified
Step 4 » Drafting
After Proposal acceptance, the drafting and review process begins and can take between 2-6 weeks, depending on the detail and quality of drawings initially provided to us and on review timelines. This process progresses 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;
- These corrections are then returned to us.
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. In almost all cases, SIP Supply can provide this service as an additional expense, unless noted in Proposal.
Step 6 » Final Acceptance
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 final signed shop drawings authorize SIP Supply to begin production of your order.
Step 7 » Panel Production
The production process typically runs about 3-6 weeks, unless otherwise noted on your Proposal. Once production nears completion, a SIP Supply representative 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 do quote production/shipping from the nearest factory location to better defray these costs.
