01

Start with the actual site

A measured plan gives the design team a reliable starting point. Identify unknown dimensions so they can be verified before production.

  • Country, city and delivery destination
  • Floor area, ceiling height, doors, columns and services
  • Site photographs and opening target
Start with the actual site planning reference
Illustrative fixture reference. Review actual dimensions and merchandise before approval.
02

Describe the merchandise and operation

Card shops need more than a list of cabinets. Explain how customers browse and how staff handle valuable cards.

  • Slab, top-loader and sleeve samples or dimensions
  • Singles, sealed product and accessory mix
  • Checkout, inspection, reserve stock and play-space needs

PRACTICAL BUYER WORKBOOK · UPDATED 22 OCTOBER 2026

Send one brief that every supplier can quote against.

The best comparison starts before a price arrives. A fixture request should identify the same quantities, configuration and responsibilities for all suppliers. Mark unknown information explicitly so it becomes an assumption to resolve rather than a silent difference between offers.

Decisions to record before approving the fixture
DecisionInformation to recordWhat to verify
Site and operationMeasured plan, receiving route, merchandise mix, staff positions and play requirements.Use a dated plan revision and flag dimensions that still need checking.
Fixture scheduleItem numbers, quantities, configuration and material or finish references.Separate optional fittings from required base functions.
Commercial scopeDesign, samples, inspection, packing, shipment and on-site work.State inclusions and exclusions instead of assuming a complete-service price.

Use this review sequence.

  1. Assign every fixture on the plan an item number and use the same number in the quotation.
  2. Attach representative card holders and packaged-product dimensions, with photographs where useful.
  3. Ask the supplier to state assumptions, sample charges, timing dependencies and the delivery basis for the actual project.
  4. Compare the revised total only after aligning quantities and scope. A low cabinet-only price is not a complete project budget.

Record the fixture or bay reference, sample merchandise, drawing revision, checks performed, unresolved items and the person confirming the next step. Keep assumptions visible; an illustrative layout is not a tested product specification.
