Tips on Estimating Composite Door Costs from RSMeans
If the drawings do not include a door schedule, it may be worth the estimator’s time to develop one, especially if the project is large or complicated. The schedule should indicate the opening number, door type, size material, glass or louver requirements, and remarks. The door schedule should include a frame schedule listing the frame material, type, and jamb, head, and sill details. |
