Doors, windows and joinery, matched to every opening.
Use an opening schedule to coordinate doors, windows, glazing, profiles and accessories. Keep dimensions, operation and finishes attached to each reference so a frame-only quote is not mistaken for a complete assembly.
Start with the right material groups.
Doors and windows
For envelope and interior openings, use a unique opening reference. Record overall dimensions, opening direction and frame or leaf requirements.
Glass and profiles
For glazing and joinery packages, list the specified glass and aluminium/PVC profile configuration. Identify who supplies seals and connection components.
Hardware and shading
For handles, operating hardware, shutters, solar shading and balustrades, connect each item to its location and compatible assembly rather than ordering by appearance alone.
A material price is only part of the package.
One schedule, clearly separated scopes. This is a request outline, not an installation drawing.
Included materials
State the complete assembly or individual parts supplied for each opening, with glazing and finish requirements.
Connections & interfaces
Allocate seals, fixings, sills, flashing and surrounding-wall interfaces between the joinery and envelope packages.
Confirm separately
Confirm site measurement, installation, access and making-good separately. A product dimension does not define who checks the opening.
Six details that make offers clearer.
- Opening reference
- Attach the current door/window schedule and keep the same IDs in all supplier offers.
- Dimension basis
- Distinguish overall frame, clear opening and structural opening dimensions so offers are comparable.
- Profile and glass
- List the specified configuration and finish, with project performance requirements and documents.
- Operation and direction
- Describe the opening mode and handing with a drawing reference to avoid left/right ambiguity.
- Hardware
- Specify handles, hinges, locks, closers and operating accessories included in each assembly.
- Interface responsibility
- Name the supplier of perimeter seals, fixings and adjoining trims, and state who verifies site dimensions.

Example quantities only; no live prices or supplier offers. Use your project schedule for final values and ask suppliers to list deviations.
Three checks before you decide.
Opening-by-opening scope
Match quantities and references before comparing totals; similar dimensions can describe different operations.
Frame versus complete assembly
Check glazing, seals, operating hardware and accessories in each offered set.
Dimensions and finish
Compare the stated measuring basis and sample reference, including any supplier exceptions.
Details worth clarifying early.
Does a frame price include glass and hardware?
Do not assume it does. Ask the supplier to itemize the supplied assembly and excluded glazing, handles, seals or installation materials.
Where should detailed door requirements go?
Use the doors guide for handing, leaf/frame and hardware questions. Keep the same opening references in the wider joinery schedule.
