What to send for a quick quote
The fastest quotes come from a clear brief. Tell us what you need, where it will be used, and whether you want a standard item or a made-to-order piece. For kitchens in Benoni, Boksburg, Germiston or further afield, the same rule applies: the more exact the details, the faster we can price it.
If you are replacing old equipment, send photos from more than one angle, plus measurements taken on site. A quick note about access also helps, especially in upstairs kitchens, tight takeaways, or spaces with narrow doors and low ceilings.
- Item type: prep table, gas range, bain-marie, display unit or full fit-out
- Size in millimetres or metres
- Stainless grade or finish if required
- Quantity needed
- Delivery town or collection from Benoni
How we quote standard equipment
For standard equipment, our team checks the item, size, finish, and whether any add-ons are needed, such as castors, shelves or sneeze protection. We also confirm if the unit is for front-of-house, back-of-house or takeaways that must handle heavy daily use and early-morning prep.
We will flag any practical matters that affect price, like electrical loading, gas setup, or the need for a heavier base in busy service areas. If the site is in a coastal area, we may also suggest options better suited to humidity and salt air. That small detail can save repairs later, especially where equipment is wiped down many times a day.
How we price custom stainless work
Custom work starts with measurements. For prep tables, sinks, servery counters, extractor canopies, shelving, counter modifications and stainless recladding, we usually need site dimensions, photos, and a short list of what the unit must do. If the job is part of a full fit-out, tell us the flow from receiving to prep to service so we can match the layout to the work area.
Where needed, our team can arrange site measuring in the East Rand and surrounding areas. That is often the best way to price correctly for unusual corners, uneven floors, or fixed walls and columns. A proper measure reduces back-and-forth and helps avoid costly changes after fabrication. It also keeps the quote honest.
- Existing opening sizes and clearance space
- Required drain points, taps or gas connections
- Preferred finish and edge detail
- Whether the unit must be movable or fixed
Step-by-step from request to price
Once we receive your request, our sales team checks the details and comes back with any questions before pricing. If the job is standard, the quote can move quickly. If it is custom, our fabrication supervisor and projects coordinator review the brief, check measurements, and confirm what is practical for the site and schedule.
For larger fit-outs, we may split the quote into sections so you can see the cost of equipment, stainless work, and install-related items separately. That makes it easier to plan around budgets and phasing. If you are opening in stages, we can quote the first area now and the rest later. It keeps things manageable, and avoids surprises.
- Send your request with measurements, photos and quantity
- We check technical details and ask follow-up questions
- We prepare the price and note any exclusions
- You approve the quote and we confirm lead time
- We proceed with fabrication, supply or delivery
What affects the final price
Price depends on size, material thickness, fittings, finish, labour and how the item will be used. A simple prep table for a small takeaway will not cost the same as a long servery counter for busy lunch service. Delivery distance also matters, especially for towns outside the East Rand, although we deliver nationally.
Load-shedding can also influence the way a kitchen is planned, because some clients need equipment arranged around standby power or gas use. If you are fitting out a site that must keep moving during outages, say so in the request. We can then quote with those conditions in mind rather than guessing. It saves time for everyone.
- Custom size and thickness
- Extra shelves, splashbacks or undershelves
- On-site install or delivery only
- Urgent turnaround requirements
Where we help every week
We handle quote requests from Benoni Showroom visitors as well as clients in Boksburg, Brakpan, Springs, Kempton Park and Germiston. Some send a full fit-out brief for a new takeaway, while others only need one replacement sink or a mobile trolley for a busy prep area. Either way, the process is the same and the advice is practical.
If you are not sure what to ask for, send the space size, a few photos, and what the kitchen must do each day. Our team will help narrow it down. Lerato Khumalo and the team know that a clear quote starts with clear info, but we also know many owners are working fast and not all the detail is ready on day one. That is fine, we can work with that.
