Your custom furniture quote checklist
Use this custom furniture quote checklist to turn an idea into a clear first enquiry. Start with room photos, rough dimensions and storage needs. Then add your preferred finish, timing and Dubai location.

You do not need finished drawings to contact a workshop. First, show the space and explain what the furniture must do. Those details help the team ask useful questions and develop the specification.
Show the room
Take a wide room photo, then add close-ups of corners, sockets and skirting. Also show anything the furniture must fit around, such as a beam or existing appliance.
Share the size
Note the rough width, height and depth, including the units you used. Then mark nearby windows, doors and furniture on a sketch. Approximate measurements are enough to explain the idea.
Explain the use
List what the piece must store or support. For example, a TV unit may need cable access and room for equipment. Add reference images, but explain which details appeal to you.
Your custom furniture quote checklist.
Copy the points below into one message for a wardrobe, TV unit, kitchen cabinet or fitted desk. Then attach your photos. The workshop should confirm production measurements on site before manufacture.
- Furniture type and the room it will serve.
- Dubai area and building or community.
- Rough width × height × depth, with units.
- Room photos, a simple sketch and finish references.
- Storage needs, appliances and cable access.
- Preferred installation date and building access restrictions.
Also share a budget range if you have one. This helps the team discuss suitable finishes and optional extras. However, treat rough dimensions as a starting point, not a manufacturing drawing.
Explain what you like in a reference.
A saved photo may appeal because of its colour, grain or hidden storage. Tell us which features matter most. Then explain anything you want to change, so the design follows your room and routine.
For example: “I need a TV unit for this wall, with closed toy storage and access to the sockets. I like the timber tone in this reference.” Add rough dimensions and photos to complete the brief.
Custom furniture quote checklist: before you agree.
Before agreeing the work, check the dimensions, materials, finish and hardware in writing. Also confirm delivery and installation. If another trade needs to finish first, record that dependency in the programme.
Finally, compare the quote with your original checklist. Does it cover each essential item? Ask for any missing detail and keep optional upgrades separate, so you can make an informed budget choice.
Questions before you request a quote.
This custom furniture quote checklist is a starting point. Here is what can wait until the survey and what helps now.
Do I need professional drawings?
No. Begin with phone photos and a rough sketch. Then develop the measurements and design with the workshop. If you already have drawings, share them with your enquiry.
Are rough measurements enough to manufacture?
No. Rough dimensions help explain the project, but the workshop should confirm final sizes during a site survey. This also reveals obstructions and fitting details that photos may miss.
Should I share a target installation date?
Yes. Mention move-in dates, other building work and access restrictions early. However, confirm the programme with the team before arranging other work around the installation.
Have a space in mind? Send it over.
Use the checklist above, attach your photos and send the brief by WhatsApp. If a detail is still undecided, tell us—we can work through it with you.
