Supplier matching / scope review
Modular outdoor kitchen cabinets: prepare the factory RFQ
A module list is the starting point. The RFQ also needs joint details, appliance interfaces, finish references and a common definition of what each quoted cabinet includes.

The two columns describe buying approaches, not tested products or published supplier offers. They expose the questions each proposal must answer before price comparison.
| RFQ field | Individual modules | Coordinated cabinet run |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity basis | List each cabinet reference and piece count. | List complete runs, plus the exact modules in every run. |
| Fit and interface | Request finished outside dimensions and joining method. | Confirm overall length, fillers, corners and appliance clearances. |
| Included scope | Identify door, drawer, hinges, feet and fixing hardware. | Identify end panels, countertop support and any site assembly exclusions. |
| Material basis | Record carcass, door and hardware materials individually. | Require consistent finish references across modules and replacement parts. |
| Cost basis | Ask for unit price, packing unit and spare-part pricing. | Separate packing, installation coordination, freight and destination charges. |
A budget-focused option may simplify finishes or customization; a high-end preference may emphasize surface consistency and bespoke dimensions. Neither preference verifies a supplier. Keep the required outdoor construction and safety interfaces constant when requesting alternatives.

Documents that close the gaps
No downloadable technical dossier is represented as our own certification. Use these document requests to build a file for the exact offered cabinet model and intended installation.
Dimensioned cabinet schedule
Ask for a dated revision with exterior dimensions, appliance openings and service access. Mark any deviation against your original schedule so alternatives remain visible.
Construction and finish statement
Request thickness in a physical unit alongside any gauge reference, the material grade, edge treatment and exposed hardware specification. An interior cabinetry reference does not establish outdoor suitability.
Sample and inspection basis
Agree the sample reference, approved finish and measurement points. Ask which inspection or test record supports the specific claim, and check its scope before approving production.
Start with the unresolved fields
Unknown details can stay open for supplier confirmation. Send your cabinet list and requested delivery date; MOQ, sample charges, production time and shipping terms will need explicit agreement.
