Answer First
What Are Doors and Windows Estimating Services?
Openings scopes are schedule-driven and detail-heavy. A single commercial project can include hundreds of doors, dozens of hardware sets and multiple glazing systems. Our estimators follow the door schedule opening by opening, match hardware groups, and measure storefront and curtain wall by area and linear foot.
Openings coordinate with Masonry Estimating Services, Drywall Estimating Services and Millwork Estimating Services.
