What to put in your build spec before you ask for a quote

You don’t need a 40-page document to get a useful quote. You need the right one page. Use this checklist — anything you’re unsure about, just leave blank and we’ll work it out together.

The one-page spec

SectionWhat to include
ConfigurationsEach SKU with CPU, motherboard, memory, GPU, storage, PSU, case and cooling
SoftwareOperating system, drivers, and any image or apps you want pre-installed
VolumeExpected monthly units, plus launch dates and seasonal peaks
PartsWhich components you’ll supply and which you want us to source
Build standardCable routing, lighting profile, labels, what goes in the box
TestingAny acceptance tests or benchmarks you require
Packaging & shippingPackaging type, ship-to locations, whether we hold stock
ReturnsWhether we handle RMA intake, repair and refurbishment

Tip: send a “golden unit”

Photos — or better, a finished sample — of the exact build you want are worth more than paragraphs of description. It becomes the reference every unit is checked against.

Common gaps that slow quotes down

  • No volume estimate, even a rough range
  • “Similar to” component lists instead of exact part numbers
  • Packaging and shipping left until after the build is priced

Got a spec — or half of one? Send it through the quote form and we’ll fill in the gaps with you.
