French term or phrase: prix suivant plan
This appears on a company website, in a section describing the materials they offer. More context: "nous sommes aussi à même de répondre à vos demandes de prix suivant plan"

"Our prices according to plan" doesn't sound good. I haven't found the phrase translated in any of my dictionaries or online sources.

request for a drawing-based quote
Explanation:
I think you can't make sense of it because you are overlooking the fact that it is not "our prices according to plan", but rather, a "request for prices" based on drawings.

This is probably the most concise way of expressing it in EN, where "request for price" can simply be "request for a quotation" (or 'estimate'); I think we do also use an expression like "estimate from/off drawings", but you'll have to check that one out.

Here's just one example of "estaimte from drawings":

Drawing Jobs, vacancies in Hereford | Indeed.co.uk

https://www.indeed.co.uk/Drawing-jobs-in-Hereford

Jobs 1 - 10 of 342 - Ability to keep on top of scheduling and site logistics, estimate from drawings, and liaise with engineers, sub-contractors and architects etc.

Here, of course, 'estimate' is a verb, but it works equally well with it as a noun.
