What to Include in Your Project Post
The more detail you provide, the better and more accurate your quotes will be. Make sure to include:
Materials
what it should be made of (e.g., aluminum, plastic, steel)
Quantities
one part, a small batch, or full production
Timeline
when you need it completed
Reference Files
sketches, images, or CAD files (optional but very helpful)
How vendors respond
Once your project is live, verified manufacturers in our network will review your specifications.
- Vendors review your project and send human-generated quotes — no AI estimates.
- If they need clarity, they’ll ask questions so your quote is accurate and realistic.
- You compare offers, check profiles, and choose the builder you want to work with.
