Project correspondence
Send a steel building brief to ArcWorks Sourcing
ArcWorks Sourcing reads written requirements. Use the inquiry form to supply the initial brief. No public visit address or telephone channel is listed here.
A useful message names the building use, the footprint, the eave height, the bay spacing and the clear span, then says which of those numbers are still ranges. Add the project location and the authority having jurisdiction. If design wind speed in mph, ground snow load in psf, or seismic design category A-F is already known, write the value and the source. If it is not known, write unknown rather than borrowing a figure from a photograph or from a review of another project.
State the quantity, the destination, the requested timing, and whether the quotation should be a shell, a delivered package, an installed frame or a turnkey scope. Foundation interface, utilities, permits and crane time stay assigned to a named party. Optional budget should include the currency and whether the figure is per building or for the whole order. A supplier preference of premium, mid-range, budget-friendly or undecided is only a buyer note. It is not a verified rating, and no existing quotation is required before you write.
What to include
Building use, footprint, eave height, loads, jurisdiction, quantity, destination, timing, and the shell, delivered, installed or turnkey boundary.
Before a comparison
No response time or factory availability is guaranteed. Mark missing loads, engineering documents and installation responsibility as open questions. If a shell price fits the budget but an installed price does not, retain foundation, crane and erection costs in the comparison rather than treating them as zero.
