How are new construction windows and doors specified?
Pros will advise on the right windows and doors for your home — both the architect and the builder. Here’s what to know:
- Architects specify windows and doors during design. They’ll specify the type of window — double-hung, casement, etc. — size, and even manufacturer. Their specifications will be based on the style of your home and your budget.
- Builders are the pros who order and install windows, so they’ll also be influential. Builders will be thinking about performance, durability, and budget. Their perspective will be experience-based and practical.
- As the homeowner, you’ll be living with the windows and doors in your home for years to come, so your opinion matters too.
AfterBefore
As all team members have a unique and valuable perspective, early alignment is ideal. Builders are often brought in to consult during the design stage. This service is called pre-construction.
An aligned team of experienced pros can help you find products that further the design of your home, provide the right level of performance, fit within your budget, and make you happy.
