Engineering beyond supply
Before the project
Key questions. A clear starting point.
01What is needed for a supply enquiry?
An equipment schedule, technical parameters, quantities, destination and required timeframe. If requirements are incomplete, describe the project phase and known constraints.
02How are equipment alternatives agreed?
Compare alternatives by technical parameters, materials, interfaces and required documentation. Agree substitutions separately before ordering.
03How is the delivery schedule defined?
Consider equipment availability, consolidation, documentation and logistics milestones. Agree the confirmed schedule and handover terms in the proposal.
