Details beyond tonnage
Galvanizing cost cannot be assessed identically for every project using weight alone. Geometry, surface area, preparation requirements and handling conditions also matter. Many small components can involve a different workflow from a few large ones. Comparing a single online unit price without understanding its technical scope can therefore be misleading.
Compare quotations on the same basis
Check whether cleaning, inspection documents, packing and transport are included. Use the same component list and drawing revision for comparisons. Lead time and phased deliveries also affect the scope. A low initial amount based on incomplete technical information may not represent the complete job.
Good preparation reduces uncertainty
Include dimensions, weights, material information and exposure conditions in the enquiry. Design review before fabrication can reveal later needs such as additional openings or residue removal. The aim is to coordinate fabrication and coating, not simply reduce the initial amount. Share your technical file through Galmetsan’s contact channels for a current project-specific quotation.
Make differences in scope visible
Consider two quotations: one may cover coating only, while another includes preparation, special packing and transport. Different totals may therefore describe different work. Compare included operations, component lists, inspection documents and delivery terms side by side. Resolve unclear items before accepting a price, and clarify commercial terms separately. This article is not a current price list; it helps make quotations based on actual project information easier to compare.
