One quote · itemised
Every line labelled. Tooling and parts never rolled together.
A group quote is one document, grouped by division, with tooling and unit cost on separate lines and assumptions written out. You can see exactly what you're paying for and who's doing it.
The detail
Itemised group quote, at group level.
An honest quote is the start of an honest job. We itemise so you can compare us fairly, challenge a line if you want to, and budget tooling and parts separately.
When the job crosses divisions, the grouping shows you which bench does what without making you manage four quotes.

Is it right for you?
An honest fit check.
A good fit when
- You need to compare us against other suppliers line by line
- Tooling and parts come from different budgets
- Your job touches more than one division
- You need to explain the cost to someone else internally
Probably not the answer when
- You only want a single headline number — we can add one, but we'll still itemise
- The brief is too early to price — start with a consultation
- Ongoing call-off pricing — see supply chain coordination

FAQs
Common questions.
Why separate tooling and parts?
So order one doesn't look cheap and order two expensive, or the reverse.
Can you quote alternatives?
Yes. Two routes or two materials side by side is common.
How long is a quote valid?
It's stated on the quote, and depends mainly on material prices.
