Doors & Windows
A significant cost and design decision affecting security, light, and ventilation.
Used for
- External entry points
- Internal room doors
- Natural lighting and ventilation
Quality considerations
- Confirm frame material (steel, aluminium, timber) suits the application — external doors generally need more robust framing than internal ones.
- Order to confirmed final opening sizes after walls are built, not from early drawings alone, to avoid costly refitting.
Common mistakes
- • Ordering before final wall openings are confirmed, leading to poor fit.
Priced per unit; material, size, and glazing type are the main cost drivers.
