Doors, Frames and Hardware Estimating
Opening-by-opening estimates built from the door schedule: doors, frames, hardware sets and installation.
Doors, Frames and Hardware Estimating Overview
Doors are priced by opening. Each opening combines a door type, a frame type, a fire rating and a hardware set, and the door schedule ties them together. We read the schedule against the floor plans and hardware specification so that every opening is counted once and priced as a complete assembly.
Storefronts, curtain walls and windows are covered separately on our windows and glazing page.
Also covered on this page: Doors and frames portion of openings (CSI Division 08).
