Openings estimating
Every door, frame and window, priced to install
Openings estimating covers every frame, door and window on the drawing set, with installation and material costs calculated separately so door and frame contractors can build an accurate labour markup into their bid. We work across aluminium, bronze, vinyl, fiberglass and standard metal door assemblies for both commercial and residential facilities.
Labour costs for speciality and function-specific doors and windows are taken off alongside the material itself, because the two rarely scale the same way, a fire-rated assembly or a thermally broken storefront system carries very different installation time than a standard hollow-metal door.
Our estimators quantify from the plans and mark up the drawings with a consistent colour-coding scheme, so you can see exactly where every quantity in the takeoff came from before you commit it to a bid.
