Questions

About door, frame and hardware estimates.

What do I need to send for a door and hardware estimate?

The door schedule, frame elevations, hardware sets, floor and life safety plans, the relevant specification sections and all addenda. A priced estimate also needs your material pricing and installation rates.

Do you write the hardware schedule or submittals?

No. We count and price what the documents specify. Missing or unclear hardware sets are listed as questions for the design team.

Can doors, frames and hardware be priced as separate numbers?

Yes. The summary separates doors, frames, hardware and installation so each part can be priced or bought on its own.
