Re: Musings from a FIRST Inspector

Quote:
Could you give me a little more information on the Bill of Material. What all is required on that? We had some parts custom made by a mentor who works at a steel plant. How do we get those parts on there. Plus once we got some of the steel....we ended up "altering" (aka.....chopping off parts) of some of the custom made pieces.
Al, correct me if I'm wrong. The B.O.M. is mostly the extra parts and pieces you buy/get donated above the KOP parts.
The custom made parts you need to have the mentor estimate what the parts are worth.
If you buy a 10' long piece of steel but only use 2' than divide the 10' piece price by 5 to get the correct BOM price.
You do not need to include any small hardware (screws, bolts etc..) on the BOM.
Don't sweat the small stuff, we will help you pass inspection.
