Create one exterior schedule
List each window and door by opening, finish, hardware, and scope. This makes it easier to see which products are being coordinated and which remain separate purchases.
Keep the budget itemized
Window counts and door assemblies should have distinct line items. The illustrative $680 window baseline must never be applied to a door or a widened opening.
Plan for your property
Coordinate window sightlines, door finishes, hardware, and thresholds as a single project. Ask for separate window and door line items so your budget stays clear from the first conversation.
