What to send while a built-in shelves waits on approval
Send this when the bid is stuck on another person, a board, or a permit. Ask what they still need from you, then wait.
Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.
Who is holding it
Stain color is a decision for whoever lives with the room, and it has to be made before the wood is ordered.
What you can hand them
The price is $5,600 and includes paint-grade built-ins on the wall we measured, installed and ready for your painter. Carpentry estimates wait on paint-grade versus stain-grade, because that choice changes the wood and the price. Do not start a stain-grade build on a paint-grade deposit.

What does the approver need on the built-in shelves?
Hi Claire, If someone else still has to approve the built-in shelves, I can resend the $5,600 estimate in whatever form they need. Tell me what they ask for. I will not keep emailing while you wait on them. Thanks, Tom Reilly Reilly Carpentry
