Estimating · Doors, windows and curtain wall
Doors, windows and curtain wall estimating: nothing missing from the list.
We count every door, frame and window by type and measure the curtain wall. You get a clear list, or a priced estimate including hardware.
What you get
- Quantities by element, in Excel and PDF
- Or a priced estimate: labour, materials and equipment
- Delivered before the BSDQ or contractor closing
- A confidentiality agreement, if you want one
