Scope in Writing
Every project moves on a written scope, not a conversation from memory.
The Process
A Clearer Process for a Serious Building Decision.
Drywizard helps commercial buyers move from idea to quote to approved building plan with fewer surprises and better communication.
Why It Matters
A Building Project Fails on Process Before It Fails on Steel.
Most commercial building frustration comes from the same places: unclear scope, vague quotes, assumptions that surface late, and communication gaps between decision and delivery. The steel is the easy part — the process is where projects are won or lost.
Drywizard’s process is built to surface assumptions early, put scope in writing, and keep one accountable team in the conversation.
Assumptions Surfaced Early
Items to confirm are flagged before approval, not after.
One Accountable Team
You know who owns your project at every step.
Step by Step
From First Conversation to Delivered Building.
01
Project Discovery
We learn what you’re building, why, where, and how the space needs to work for your operation.
02
Building Scope
Operational needs become a defined building scope: footprint, clear-span requirements, openings, finish level, and site factors.
03
Written Quote
You receive an itemized written quote that separates inclusions, options, items to confirm, and exclusions.
04
Review & Adjustments
We walk the quote together, answer questions, and adjust scope until the plan matches the project.
05
Approval
You approve a clear, agreed scope — nothing moves forward on assumptions.
06
Fabrication / Coordination [CLIENT TO CONFIRM]
The building package moves through the agreed workflow with defined milestones and regular communication.
07
Delivery / Next Steps [CLIENT TO CONFIRM]
Delivery and handoff follow the plan set at approval, with clear next steps for your project team.
Be Ready
What to Have on Hand (and What Can Wait)
Helpful to Have
For the First Conversation
Building type and intended use · approximate size or footprint target · project location or ZIP code · rough timeline · how the space needs to function day to day.
Can Wait
Not Required to Start
Final dimensions · full technical specifications · a fixed budget number · completed site drawings. These get developed through the process, not demanded up front.
Scope & Cost Drivers
What Actually Moves the Number
Size & Clear-Span
Footprint, eave height, and the amount of column-free interior space required.
Local Codes & Loads
Wind, snow, seismic, and local code requirements specific to your site.
Openings & Glazing
Drive-in doors, docks, personnel doors, and storefront glass.
Finish Level
Customer-facing finish versus functional industrial finish.
Site Factors
Access, conditions, and site-specific requirements that affect the project.
Options & Add-Ons
Insulation, accessories, and upgrades — priced and listed separately.
Quote Transparency
The Quote Is the Product of the Process.
By the time you see a number, the scope behind it has been defined, the assumptions have been flagged, and the exclusions are in writing. That’s what makes the quote useful for a real business decision.

Process Questions
Common Questions About the Process
Timeline depends on building scope, approvals, and site factors. Your project plan lays out expected milestones for your specific project. [CLIENT TO CONFIRM typical ranges]
Review steps before fabrication are part of the approval stage. [CLIENT TO CONFIRM what drawing review is provided and when]
Changes go back through the same written process — updated scope, updated quote, reviewed together before approval. Changes are documented, not assumed.
Buildings are engineered to your local code requirements as part of the building package. [CLIENT TO CONFIRM what engineering and permitting support is offered]
