01

Investigate the opening before selecting the method

For a Hamilton project, show any signs of water entry, damaged framing or previous alterations during the assessment. Installation scope should follow the condition of the opening, rather than assuming every unit can be treated identically.

02

Treat enlargement separately

A cut-out or wider door opening needs a specific design and approval review before ordering.

03

A practical planning scenario for Hamilton

For a Hamilton project where an opening has been altered previously, share any known history and visible repairs. The assessor needs to understand what is present before selecting a retained-frame approach. If you now want enlargement, treat that as a separate design and construction scope.

04

Understand the price before comparing quotes

A total is only meaningful when the scope is clear. Review dimensions, glass, colour, hardware, removal, installation and finishing as separate parts of the project. Planning ranges help you start; the measured scope determines your written quote.
