Why Our Wood Door Estimates Hold Up

Wood door packages can contain multiple construction types and finishes throughout the same building. Interior flush doors, solid-core doors, veneer doors, stile-and-rail doors, rated doors, glazed doors, and specialty wood openings can carry different material and installation costs.
We review the door schedule, plans, elevations, specifications, finish schedules, and hardware information to separate door assemblies according to their documented requirements.

Coordination Across Wood Door Assemblies

A complete wood door opening can include the slab, frame, glazing, hardware, finish, threshold, seals, and specialty accessories. We coordinate these components with the architectural plans and schedules to reduce scope gaps.
Door types can be linked to their corresponding hardware sets and ratings where the project documentation provides that information.

Wood Door Takeoff by Type

Different door constructions and finishes can be separated by type, size, location, and rating. This allows contractors to price standard openings separately from specialty or premium door assemblies.
Door quantities can be reconciled against the architectural floor plans and door schedule to help identify discrepancies between the graphical plans and scheduled openings.

Fire-Rated Wood Door Estimating

Fire-rated wood doors require coordination between the door, frame, glazing, hardware, and surrounding rated wall assembly.
Where ratings are documented, rated doors can be separated from standard wood doors so the appropriate assembly and hardware costs are carried into the estimate.

Wood Door Hardware Estimating

Hardware requirements vary by opening. Hinges, closers, locks, exit devices, stops, pulls, thresholds, and other accessories can be quantified according to the project's hardware sets.
