- You need finishing - powder coating, plating, anodising, heat treatment
- Capability for the material grade and thickness you need
- In-house finishing vs. subcontracted (affects lead time and price)

Common questions about Sheet Metal
Most UK fabricators offer cutting, forming and welding in-house and subcontract finishing. A single supplier is usually faster and cheaper than splitting work.
Laser cutting plus bending is the default for prototype and low-volume sheet metal. For higher volumes, presswork becomes cost-effective.
Reference a standard (e.g. RAL colour for powder coat, BS EN ISO 7599 for anodising) and state any salt-spray or thickness projects.
