Spending your Project Budget
- Before anything is bought by a team you must approve it.
- When reviewing BOMs always check for:
- Complete list of parts, this should be representative of the designs and include fasteners and wire and everything else.
- Shipping and tax costs, duties can be expensive so try to buy things from Canada.
- If a cheaper or better alternative exists.
- If a cheaper supplier exists.
- When looking for places to find parts, here is the order of places to look:
- In the Makerlab, here is the inventory (cost included in BOM).
- In the Makerstore (cost included in BOM).
- Online or local stores, some common places are below.
