When we receive a project it typically follows these steps:
-
Evaluation
We pride ourselves in being objective consultants with each new project. We can evaluate if your project is a good fit for Simco Automotive. If we feel we cannot deliver the best final product, we will suggest another direction, even if it is not with us.
-
Request for Quote (RFQ) Process
Request for quotes are reviewed by our engineers for feasibility, cost, timing, and ability to meet specifications. Once it is determined that we can provide a viable solution, we would then move forward with a pricing estimate.
