1. Usable space
Measure equipment in its working configuration, including attachments and mirrors. Check clear door openings, side clearance, turning space and work aisles.
2. Exact configuration
Record width, length, height, doors, cover and supplied components. Nominal dimensions alone do not identify the full package.
3. Site and intended use
Provide the address, storage activity, occupied use, heating plans and existing ground or foundation information.
4. Applicable documents
Ask which model/revision the drawings and assembly instructions cover. Establish any additional site-specific engineering and approvals.
5. Frame and cover evidence
Compare the actual specifications. Neither a truss label nor fabric weight establishes universal strength or service life.
6. Delivery origin and scope
Confirm the supplying hub, route and destination. MAX-arranged free delivery applies within 888 highway km of the supplying Edmonton/Brampton hub for products stocked there or ordered into it.
7. Unloading
The customer supplies unloading unless the written quote states otherwise. Confirm the actual packages, suitable equipment, operator and arrival arrangements.
8. Assembly and site work
Separate kit, installation, equipment, travel, foundation and site preparation. Identify what is included, separately quoted or the customer’s responsibility.
9. Payments and schedule
Confirm the applicable starting payment, balance due date and provisional delivery timing. A provisional week is not a confirmed truck appointment.
10. Ownership support
Read the warranty conditions and ask how parts, cover fit and document questions are handled. Keep the order reference and actual supplied documents.
Frequently asked questions
Should I compare only price per square foot?
Use it as one reference after matching the supplied space and scope. It does not include every project cost or establish usable clearance.
Does free delivery include unloading?
Customer unloading applies unless the written quote expressly includes another arrangement.
What information helps MAX prepare the quote?
The intended use, location, size, equipment clearances, site/access details, desired timing and any requirements already received.
Use the right project information
Ask the relevant authority which requirements apply and the appropriate provider which documents your project needs. NRC’s code publications provide the national reference library. Confirm local adoption and application for your project.
For MAX orders, start with the project brief, compare the complete quote scope and frame and cover specifications, and retain the applicable warranty terms. Existing owners can use owner support or parts identification.
