A veterinary cabinet quote is easier to review when the equipment schedule separates what is known from what still needs a site measure. This checklist is for clinic fitout teams and equipment distributors specifying wall, base or mobile stainless cabinets. It is a planning aid, not a fixed product offer or a claim of clinical compliance.

Quick answer: what should a veterinary cabinet RFQ include?
For an initial feasibility review, send one line per cabinet type: intended location and use, width × depth × height (or “site measure pending”), quantity, door/drawer/shelf layout, any specified stainless grade and finish, installation interfaces, a drawing or room photo if available, and the delivery destination. Final construction and commercial terms require scope and drawing review.

What to put on the cabinet schedule
One row per cabinet type is enough for an initial feasibility review. If a dimension is not measured, mark it “site measure pending” instead of guessing. On narrow screens, each input is shown as an individual item.
| Input | What to send | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Location and use | Room name, intended contents and whether the cabinet is wall-mounted, floor-standing or mobile. | The support, access and cleaning details differ by location. |
| Overall dimensions | Width × depth × height for each type, plus the available wall or floor space and any “site measure pending” items. | Allows the layout and material scope to be reviewed without treating a reference size as a final size. |
| Quantity and mix | Number of each cabinet type; note if several types must ship as one project package. | Small mixed batches can be reviewed case by case instead of forcing one catalogue configuration. |
| Doors, drawers and shelves | Door swing or sliding preference, number of drawers, shelf positions, locks and removable parts where required. | These choices affect fabrication, access and the quotation. |
| Material and finish | Required stainless grade if specified by the project, component coverage, nominal sheet thickness by component if specified (otherwise mark pending), finish and any document or test requirement. | “Stainless cabinet” alone does not define every component or prove a particular grade or certification. |
| Interfaces and delivery | Wall support or fixing details from the local designer, services or cut-outs, destination city and packing or labelling needs. | Installation conditions and shipping scope must be reviewed before terms are agreed. |
Drawings that help avoid a second quotation round
A room plan or marked-up photograph can show where each cabinet sits. Add a simple front elevation for door and drawer arrangements, and a cabinet schedule that uses the same item codes on the plan. If a wall fixing, load or service penetration is critical, identify who will verify it locally. Tianze can review a rough sketch first; production dimensions and construction details are confirmed against an approved drawing.
For projects outside China: agree the handover
Along with the cabinet schedule, state the destination country and city, the delivery point you want priced, who will handle import clearance and local installation, and any packing, labelling, material-document or project-approval requirements. These details are questions for the project review, not promises that every destination or requested document can be supplied. Tianze will confirm the available scope and quotation basis in writing after reviewing the drawings and destination.
If the same project also includes veterinary cage banks, list the compartment layout, overall dimensions and quantity for each bank separately; see the veterinary cage bank product scope. For a mixed stainless package, use the commercial stainless cabinet RFQ checklist to keep item codes, quantities and delivery requirements consistent. Material and shipping scope remain subject to project review.
Questions to settle before pricing
What cleanability information belongs in the cabinet brief?
State the clinic’s cleaning and disinfection routine, products used, wet-area exposure, and whether shelves or internal parts must be removable. These are design-review inputs; they do not prove chemical compatibility or clinical compliance. AAHA’s veterinary practice guidance explains why cleaning and disinfection of environmental surfaces and equipment are part of infection control. The buyer’s own protocol and destination requirements govern the final specification.
Can a rough sketch start the process?
Yes. Send known dimensions, intended use, quantities and the destination. The first response can identify missing inputs; a final commercial quotation needs the agreed scope.
Can a small order combine wall and base cabinets?
A mixed layout or trial batch can be reviewed case by case. State the quantity of each type and whether the items share a finish or delivery schedule.
Should every cabinet be specified as 304 or 316?
Use the material requirement in the buyer’s project specification. If it is undecided, describe the exposure, cleaning routine and required documents so the grade and component coverage can be reviewed in writing. A photograph cannot verify material grade.
Does the workshop photograph show a completed clinic project?
No. It shows cabinet units at a manufacturing partner’s workshop. It should not be read as evidence of local installation, certification or a finished order for a clinic.
Send one useful project brief
Include the room plan or sketch, cabinet schedule, dimensions you know, quantities, required grade or finish, destination city and any deadline that affects feasibility. Attach a reference photo if it explains an existing unit to replace. Leave unknown items clearly marked so they can be resolved during review.
