Prepare drawings, product scope, sample requirements and delivery responsibilities so both sides can work from the same furniture schedule.
Project planning guide
Preparing a furniture RFQ
Start with the country, city, project type, room types, estimated quantities, drawing revision and target schedule. List kitchen cabinets, wardrobes, vanities, doors and loose furniture separately. If the budget is open, state priorities. Define responsibility for site measurements, service interfaces, transport and installation before treating a rendering as a complete brief.

Building a complete cabinetry schedule
Give each cabinet run a room-based identifier. Record dimensions, door handing, substrate, finish, hardware and worktop interfaces. Define responsibility for plinths, fillers, end panels, sealing and wall conditions. State whether appliances, basins, taps, mirrors and lighting are included. Keep unresolved items in a question log rather than assuming a default configuration.

Recording a sample review
Tie each sample review to drawing and material revisions. Record colour, grain direction, sheen, edges, joints, hardware operation and internal storage. Keep approvals, changes and open questions distinct. Identify sample numbers and lighting in photographs; screen colour alone should not define final colour acceptance.

Defining overseas supply responsibilities
Define responsibilities for production, packing, transport, export and destination formalities, unloading, storage, installation and after-sales support. Align package labels and schedules with rooms or cabinet IDs, and confirm destination requirements before ordering. Trade terms, payment, insurance, damage handling and warranty scope must be agreed contractually; overseas project photos do not establish these terms.
