Doors, windows & glazing estimating services
Doors, frames, hardware sets, windows, storefront and curtain wall counted against the schedule, unit by unit.
What a doors, windows & glazing package looks like.
Openings are a counting exercise where the count has to reconcile against three documents at once: the floor plans, the door schedule and the hardware schedule. Where they disagree, the disagreement is reported rather than resolved silently in our favour or yours.
Doors are counted by type, size, material and fire rating. Hardware is counted by set, because a single opening can carry anything from a passage latch to a full electrified set, and averaging across the schedule loses most of the money.

Common questions on doors, windows & glazing takeoffs.
