Illustrative planning visual
What information should a UK contractor provide for a project door quotation?
State whether the project is a new build or refurbishment, then share the available opening, door-set, finish, ironmongery and packing information. This lets the quotation review distinguish coordinated new openings from existing-building conditions.
- Project type, new build or refurbishment, schedule and opening ID
- Existing opening information where applicable, leaf size and quantity
- Frame or lining scope, wall thickness and architrave or casing
- Handing, finish, ironmongery and existing frame condition where relevant
- Destination, packing or project phase and required documentation
Door Planning for UK Refurbishment and Existing Openings
For refurbishment or existing buildings, confirm existing opening width and height, finished opening condition, existing frame condition, whether the frame is retained or replaced, wall thickness, floor finish level, skirting or wall finish interface where relevant, architrave scope, handing and existing ironmongery to retain or replace. Site dimensions and existing-condition information should be supplied and confirmed by the buyer, contractor or project team.
Frame, Lining and Architrave Coordination
Project-specific confirmation is required. A single lining size or frame depth should not be assumed for every UK project.
| Door-set detail | Information for project review |
|---|---|
| Door leaf, frame and lining | Clarify the complete opening scope and whether existing elements are retained or replaced. |
| Jamb depth and architrave | Record the intended relationship between wall build-up, lining, visible trim and the finished opening. |
| Wall thickness and floor level | Identify finished conditions that influence the opening, frame or lining and installation interface. |
| Opening condition and handing | Connect the existing or planned condition to the room, opening ID and applicable door-set information. |
Ironmongery and Door Preparation Review
Hardware scope
Review hinges, locks or latches, handles, closers or access control where applicable, door stops, seals where project-specified and handing.
Schedule and drawings
Share the ironmongery schedule, machining requirements, templates and drawing information with the door schedule.
Confirmation point
Door preparation is reviewed against buyer-supplied ironmongery schedules, templates, approved drawings and project information.
Hotel and Apartment Room Door Package Coordination
Bedrooms and internal rooms
Separate internal room door types, finishes and frame or lining scope in the project schedule.
Bathrooms, service areas and corridors
Identify applicable room use, door type, finish group and packing requirements without assuming one configuration.
Room and phase packing
Use room, opening and phase labels to organise mixed models and project release planning.
What changes when a door project is a refurbishment rather than a new build?
Refurbishment inputs
Existing openings, retained frames, variable wall conditions, existing floor levels, replacement ironmongery and room-by-room verification.
New-build inputs
Coordinated drawings, scheduled openings, wall build-up, planned frames or linings, hardware schedule and phased project release.
Project review
The required quotation input differs by project condition; neither route should be assumed from a generic door description.
Project Documentation Review for UK Door Orders
Architectural drawings, door schedules, existing-opening surveys, room or opening schedules, finish schedules, ironmongery schedules, frame or lining details, project specifications and applicable buyer-supplied requirements can be provided for review. VISFURN reviews, coordinates and confirms the door package against supplied documentation before project information is finalized.
Supply-only door tenders with staged delivery
When a housing or construction tender covers the manufacture, supply and delivery of door sets, treat the delivery plan as part of the specification—not as a date to discuss after the product schedule is complete. State which work is included in the supply contract and identify any separate site survey, unloading, storage or installation responsibility. Do not assume those services are included unless the tender says so.
For a project with repeat deliveries, ask tenderers to price against one controlled schedule showing the door types, quantities and delivery sequence. Confirm the first required delivery, the proposed interval between batches, any call-off or notice period, the receiving location and the process for agreeing changes. If the project requires fortnightly deliveries, write that frequency explicitly and ask the supplier to confirm its proposed programme against the tender dates; do not infer that any particular supplier can meet it.
Swipe the tender checklist table horizontally to compare the columns.
| Tender field | What the buyer should state | What the supplier should clarify |
|---|---|---|
| Door schedule | Door mark, type, dimensions, finish, frame/lining and hardware scope; total quantity and any permitted alternatives | Which schedule revision is priced and any exclusions or proposed equivalents |
| Quantity by batch | Total quantity and quantity required in each delivery or call-off | Whether the proposed batch quantities align with the requested sequence |
| Delivery programme | First required delivery date, intervals, site location, receiving window and any notice period | A dated proposed programme, dependencies and any exceptions requiring agreement |
| Site interface | Delivery point, access limits, unloading arrangements, site contact and who receives the goods | Any vehicle, access, unloading or site-preparation assumptions included in the offer |
| Protection and identification | Required packaging, door-mark labels, batch identifiers and receiving documents | How packages will be identified and which documents accompany each delivery |
| Quality assurance | Requested product information, sample/approval stages, inspection records and any specified test evidence | Documents actually available for the offered configuration; distinguish confirmed evidence from items requiring review |
| Evaluation criteria | Published price and non-price criteria, weights and requested evidence | A response mapped to those stated criteria, rather than generic claims or unsupported certifications |
| Contract boundary | Whether supply, delivery, unloading, storage, installation and removal of existing doors are included | A clear price breakdown, exclusions and responsibilities for each work stage |
If a tender includes service-delivery or location, quality-assurance, environmental/sustainability, social-value or Fair Work criteria, quote the tender’s wording and ask each bidder to answer the same question with relevant evidence. These criteria and their weightings vary by procurement. Do not add them as universal requirements or infer that a product certificate proves an organisation-level policy.
Keep the door schedule, batch plan, packing labels and receiving list on the same revision. If a buyer changes a door type, quantity or required delivery after quotation, record the affected door marks and obtain written agreement to the revised scope and programme.
For a general price-scope comparison, use the existing door supplier quote comparison guide. For room, opening and package labels, see the door packaging and room schedule guide. To discuss a UK project, send the schedule, delivery plan, quantities and destination using the UK project quotation form.
Buyer takeaway: issue one door schedule, one delivery plan and one set of evaluation questions to all tenderers. Compare their confirmed scope and evidence against the same revision before selecting on price.

Questions from UK project buyers
What should a UK contractor include in a project door schedule?
Include the project type, whether it is new build or refurbishment, opening ID, room type, quantity, existing opening information where applicable, leaf size, frame or lining scope, wall thickness, architrave, handing, finish, ironmongery, packing phase and destination.
What measurements are needed for refurbishment door replacements?
Provide the existing opening width and height, finished opening condition, existing frame condition, wall thickness, floor finish level, relevant skirting or wall finish interface, handing and the site dimensions available from the buyer, contractor or project team.
How should existing frames and linings be reviewed before quotation?
Identify whether the frame is retained or replaced, its condition and dimensions, the lining and architrave scope, wall build-up, floor level and installation interface. Site dimensions and existing-condition information should be supplied and confirmed by the buyer, contractor or project team.
What ironmongery information should be supplied before machining?
Supply the ironmongery schedule, hinges, locks or latches, handles, closers or access control where applicable, door stops or seals where project-specified, handing, machining requirements and available templates or approved drawings.
Can hotel or apartment doors be packed by room or opening number?
A hotel or apartment package can be organised by room number, opening ID, door type, finish group, handing, ironmongery group and packing phase after the approved configuration is confirmed.
How should architrave and wall thickness be coordinated?
Confirm the door leaf, frame, lining, jamb depth, architrave or casing scope, wall build-up, finished wall thickness, floor level, opening condition and installation interface for the specific project.
What project documentation should be reviewed for fire or acoustic requirements?
Provide the project specification, drawings, schedules and any buyer-supplied fire, acoustic, security, accessibility, authority or consultant requirements for documentation review. These requirements are reviewed against supplied project information rather than assumed from the product.
What is different between quoting a new-build and refurbishment door package?
A refurbishment package needs existing opening, retained frame, variable wall condition, floor level and replacement ironmongery information. A new-build package usually relies on coordinated drawings, scheduled openings, planned frames or linings, hardware schedules and phased project release information.
