Make the section designation unambiguous
Beam enquiries should keep the exact section designation, grade and supplied length together. Broad descriptions such as heavy beam do not identify a specific section.
Use the section schedule approved for the project. Include the reference specification where relevant, rather than expecting the desk to infer the intended section from a photograph or an informal product name.
Send quantities on a consistent basis
List quantities by designation and supplied length. If the request is in pieces, label it as pieces; if it is in metric tonnes, keep that unit clear. The written quotation should say how weight and the final invoice quantity will be established.
A mixed requirement can be sent through the same enquiry form, provided each item is identified separately in the specification or message. Include the destination and any unloading or access conditions.
Check the written offer and documents
Confirm that the offered product matches the designation, grade and length requested. Ask for the applicable test documents and clarify any proposed alternative before accepting a quote.
Compare the unit rate, tax scope, freight terms, dispatch basis and validity period. This product information supports procurement discussions. The section required for a structure comes from its approved design and purchase specification.
