What this work involves
Discuss clear passage, swing space, glazing, sound and wall construction. Coordinate the door choice with floor levels.
- Hinged, sliding or pivot door

- Frame and hardware
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Defer vulnerable final finishes until investigation and disruptive repairs are complete.
What the drawing needs to explain
Create a phase drawing with three colours: repair now, improve later and investigate first. Mark where phases meet, such as roof edges, service routes and finished floors.
How to review the result
Check both completed work and preparations for the next phase. Record which connections are deliberately temporary and when they will be reassessed.
Cost factors for this service
Costs depend on materials, bespoke sizing, hardware and wall alterations. Ask for the scope and selected specification to be described separately.
Bring this to the discussion
Photographs of the existing situation, available drawings and your requirements for internal & steel-framed doors. Identify the elements that should remain.
Questions about the work
