A useful enquiry makes the build understandable. You do not need every answer before contacting us, but clearly separating what is decided from what is still open helps avoid assumptions.
1. Describe the product and stage.
Explain the application, intended market and whether you need a prototype, a pilot run or repeat production. Include the quantity for this build and any expected follow-on demand.
2. Identify the current files.
List the available board fabrication files, assembly data, BOM and drawings. Include revision names or dates. For the BOM, manufacturer part numbers, quantities and reference designators help make the requirement clear.
3. Define who supplies what.
State whether you will supply the boards, components, firmware, fixtures or other parts. Mark items you want help sourcing. Explain whether alternatives may be proposed and who must approve them.
4. Explain how the build will be accepted.
Share assembly instructions, visual requirements and functional test expectations. If a test needs a fixture, firmware or a procedure, explain what already exists and what needs to be developed.
5. Include the practical details.
Give your target date, delivery destination, packaging needs and the person who can resolve technical questions. Mark the requirements that are fixed and those that can be discussed.
Start with a non-confidential summary.
We can agree the appropriate way to exchange detailed designs after the initial conversation.
