Questions that come up before a bay plan
Most of the back-and-forth before an order is about the same handful of things: what to send, how the sketch is read, and what the reply actually contains. Here is the plain version, so you can prepare once and skip a second round of measuring.
What should be in the sketch?
Wall lengths, ceiling height, door and walkway widths, and the boundary of any cold room or dry store. Mark pipework, drainage channels and where a door swings open. A photo of the corner helps more than a tidy drawing, because it shows the obstacles you stopped noticing.
How accurate do the measurements need to be?
Close enough to size uprights and shelf depths. A rough sketch with honest numbers beats a neat plan with guessed ones. If a wall is out of square or a panel is thicker than expected, say so, since that changes the fixings rather than the bay itself.
Stainless or epoxy coated?
Stainless suits wet zones, steam and frequent washing. Epoxy coated bays handle ambient dry stores well and cost less per bay. Mixed fit-outs are common: stainless near the pass, epoxy in the back store, same upright gauge so the run can be extended later.
Can a small kitchen order a single bay?
Yes. Single-bay orders go through the same review as a full fit-out run. Trade pricing is available for fit-out crews, but the process does not change: measurements in, bay plan and cut list back, with assembly notes for whoever installs it.
What arrives in the reply?
A bay plan and a cut list with assembly notes: upright lengths, shelf counts, bracket positions, and the wall channels and corner gussets listed as separate items. Check the upright length against your measured ceiling height before anything is drilled.
What is not promised?
Response times and delivery windows are not fixed here, and no certifications or completed installations are claimed. What you get is a reviewed plan based on the measurements you send, and a clear list of what to check on site before assembly.
