How to prepare a kitchen equipment schedule for supplier review
A kitchen equipment schedule connects each numbered item on the layout to its exact model, dimensions, quantity and known service requirements. Send it with the drawing revision and a list of unresolved questions so the supplier can check the concept before quoting or ordering.
Keep the layout and schedule connected
Give every item a stable reference that matches the drawing. Include the room or project name, revision and date. If the layout changes, issue the matching schedule rather than asking a supplier to reconcile two different versions.
Fields to review for each item
| Field | What the supplier should confirm |
|---|---|
| Item number and quantity | The item on this exact drawing revision and the number required. |
| Manufacturer, model and variant | The orderable model, market, electrical or gas version and included accessories. |
| Width, depth and height in mm | Body size plus separate installed, operating and maintenance envelopes. |
| Power and services | Published load, supply requirements, water and drainage; unknown fields remain unconfirmed. |
| Specification source | Manufacturer document or supplier confirmation, with date or revision. |
| Fabricated details | Size, material choice, bowl or drainer arrangement, upstand, shelf and accessory details. |
| Exceptions | Missing data, alternatives and decisions required before a quote or purchase. |
Separate unknown from none
An empty load or drain field does not mean no connection is required. Label missing information as unconfirmed. Published equipment kW is not an engineered electrical demand calculation, and a service symbol does not locate a build-ready connection. Ask the relevant installer or engineer to establish the project requirements.
Give a fabricator enough information to ask the right questions
For a stainless table, record the dimensions and selected details such as an upstand, undershelf, drawer or castors. For a sink, include the bowl and drainer arrangement. Note interfaces with walls, neighbouring equipment and services. Material, construction, loading and installation details still require the fabricator's confirmation.
Export and inspect the actual result
Kitchen Studio's visual editor contains CSV, SVG and drawing-set PDF exports. Inspect the downloaded output against the layout and keep the unresolved assumptions beside it. The MCP integration can return the equipment schedule; it does not export the drawing files.
Ask for a useful supplier response
A concrete correction, quote request or revision advances the project. Receiving a file alone does not establish that the handoff was useful.
- Which models and variants can you supply, and what differs from this schedule?
- Which dimensions, services, accessories and clearances need correcting?
- Which fabricated details are insufficient for your quote or shop drawings?
- Which revision did you review, and what remains open?
