Estimates
For
estimates the following information is
required:
1.
Dimensions of pieces are needed. A drawing
or copy of the plan, highlighted with
the areas to receive stone, noting any
elevation changes, and backsplashes, should
be submitted for estimating.
2.
Name of the stone and thickness of
stone to be used.
3.
Edge detail should be selected and the
drawing or plan should note which edges
to be finished.
4.
Sink/stove/cook tops should be noted.
We need to know the type of cutout, under
mount or self-rimming, and whether the
cutout will be from the slab or done with
strips.
5.
Any special shape pieces, including radius
corners, should be noted.
6.
Location of job, for installation estimating.
Typical
lead time for an estimate is 1 - 2 business
days.
Ordering
To
get an order placed, we need to have the
following:
1.
Work Order must be filled out completely,
clearly explaining the work to be performed,
the cost of that work and the customer
must sign the work order.
2.
A deposit of 50% of the total job
must be received.
Once
these two items are taken care of, the
job will be added to our job list for
scheduling.
Slab
Selection
The
customer has the option of selecting slabs
for their job from RMS stock. Slabs that
are selected for a project will be held
for one week, if the required deposit
has not been made. Once a deposit is received
for stock slabs, they will be moved to
a sold section in the shop. If slabs are
not in stock, we will obtain samples and
pictures, if necessary, from our suppliers
for the customer to review. Slab material
will not be ordered until a deposit is
received for the job.
Fabrication/Installation
Measuring
For
jobs that RMS is installing, once the
cabinets are installed, or the area to
receive stone is ready, RMS will go to
the job site to take the necessary dimensions
or make templates. It is imperative that
all cutout information is on site at the
time of measuring and that the cabinets
are permanently set. In addition to cutout
information, we will also need to know
required overhangs, height of splashes,
radius corners and any other special details.
Jobs will not go into production until
all cutout and design information is received
by RMS. Please allow a 2 - 5 day notice
for measuring.
Shop
Drawings
After
field dimensions are taken, allow 3 -
5 days for RMS to generate a shop drawing
that will detail the dimensions/shapes
of the tops, the location of cutouts,
the edge detail with a section showing
overhang, the joint locations, and the
color and thickness of the material. RMS
will review the shop drawing with the
customer, verify the price of the
work and once the shop drawing is signed
off by the customer, the job will go to
the shop for fabrication. Jobs
will be sent to fabrication only when
all information is received and verified.
When the job is ready to fabricate, a
completion date will be given to the customer.
In the event material is not in stock,
the completion date will not be confirmed
until the material arrives in the RMS
yard. Typical lead time from the date
of approved shop drawings is 2 - 4 weeks.
