Welding Quote Template

Steel by the section, shop hours, coating and field install — tied to a drawing revision. Free PDF, no sign-up.

Fabrication is quoted from a drawing, and that is what makes the number binding: the material take-off is countable, the weld inches are countable, and the finish is specified. What is not countable is the site, so the price is tied to a drawing revision and to a field measure that either agrees with it or does not. State the revision number on the quote and everyone knows which document the price belongs to.

Quote #QUO-5216 · Iron Meridian Fabrication · Page 1 of 1

What this quote commits you to

How long it stands: 14 days. Steel is bought against the mill's published extras, and those are re-issued fortnightly.
What it does not cover: Engineering stamps and calculations, third-party NDT or x-ray, hot-work permits, galvanising, and any crane or lift on site.
What would change the price: A field measure that disagrees with the drawing it was priced from, or a weld procedure calling for a certified WPS we do not already hold.
How the client accepts it: Approve the shop drawing and the quote together — fabrication starts from the approved drawing, not from the quote.

What to put on a welding quote

The drawing number and revision the price was taken off
Material by section and grade — HSS, angle, plate, and their weights
Shop hours separated from field hours, because they carry different rates
Finish: mill scale, primed, powder coated or galvanised, named explicitly
Weld procedure and whether certification or third-party inspection is required
Delivery, off-loading and who supplies the lift on site
Whether the field measure has been taken yet, or the price is from the drawing alone

Questions

Why tie a welding quote to a drawing revision?

Because a revision is how the scope changes without anyone saying so. Rev C with a heavier top rail is a different tonnage and a different price, and naming the revision makes that visible instead of arguable.

How long can steel pricing be held?

About a fortnight for most shops. Mill extras and the plate market move on their own schedule, and a month-long validity on a heavy take-off is a quiet bet against them.

Who pays for engineering stamps?

The client, and the quote should exclude them by name. A stamped calculation is a licensed engineer's liability, not the fabricator's, and pricing it into a fabrication line hides both the cost and the responsibility.
