First separate confirmed requirements from open choices. Note the revision of drawings, required thickness, finished dimensions and any retained physical sample.

Request an identifiable product and its relevant documentation. Supplier identity, manufacturing location and any claimed certificates need their own confirmation.
Compare the same quantity and units, packing arrangement, currency and trade term. An attractive slab price says little about a different delivered scope.
Ask what sample or full slab reference can be provided and what it represents. Agree who can accept the selection and record any permitted variation.
A different format, finish or source may alter cutting yield and appearance. Require alternatives to be described separately, with their effect on the project made clear.
Confirm document scope, payment terms, inspection arrangements and shipping responsibilities before purchase. A sourcing discussion does not itself accept an order or verify suitability.
Use the three steps to supply the slab requirements, add optional budget preferences and review the request. A target budget may be per slab, per square foot or for the total order; write the actual unit in the requirements so suppliers do not make different assumptions.
A high-end preference can prioritize visual consistency and approval support. A budget preference may allow alternatives, but it does not waive the minimum material requirements. Where the preferred finish or format is unavailable, ask for a separate option instead of allowing a silent substitution.
Sampling, inspection and logistics arrangements require agreement with the relevant parties. We do not publish inventory, a fixed minimum order quantity, a delivery promise or an unverified supplier rating. Review the inquiry options before sending the brief.
Share what is fixed, what can change and which costs must be included. Supplier responses can then be compared against a visible brief.
