Openings — Doors & Windows
Our Openings estimating services provide detailed door and window schedules aligned directly to your architectural drawings. We quantify every opening by type, size, and frame specification — from hollow metal doors to high-performance curtain wall systems — so your bid reflects the true cost of the building skin.
Key Highlights of Our Openings — Doors & Windows Services
Door Schedule Extraction
Every door is extracted from the architectural schedule and listed by type, size, frame material, and fire rating for precise unit pricing.
Window Glazing Quantification
Windows are measured in SF by glazing system and performance spec, with frame lengths and sill conditions included.
Curtain Wall Linear Footage
Curtain wall is measured by LF of mullion length and SF of glazed area, with head and sill conditions noted for bid accuracy.
Storefront System Takeoffs
Aluminum storefront is quantified in SF by system type and height, with separate measurement for transom lights and sidelites.
Hardware Set Scheduling
Hardware is listed per opening by function set, coordinated against the door schedule to ensure nothing is missed in the bid.
Fire-Rated Assembly Compliance
Fire-rated doors, frames, and glazing are flagged and listed separately with ratings noted for specification verification.
Frame Anchor Coordination
Frame anchors, rough opening sizes, and structural blocking requirements are documented to support coordination with framing trades.
Specialty Openings
Overhead doors, access panels, louvers, and pass-through windows are itemized distinctly so specialty subcontractors can price accurately.
Our openings takeoffs eliminate the guesswork from door and window bidding. Every opening is verified against the schedule and the drawings, so your costs are rooted in real quantities — not estimates of estimates.
