What information should a US contractor provide for a door project quotation?
Send the available project information so the door, frame and hardware scope can be reviewed together. VISFURN prepares quotations and technical coordination from buyer-supplied project requirements and documentation.
- Project type, destination and door schedule
- Opening ID, room type, quantity and handing
- Rough opening, leaf size and finished wall thickness
- Frame or jamb scope, finish and glazing where applicable
- Hardware preparation, templates and machining information
- Packing labels, delivery phase and required project documents
Multifamily developers
Organize apartment and shared-area door types by opening, finish, handing and packing phase.
Hospitality procurement
Review guestroom, back-of-house and public-area scope with frame and hardware preparation details.
Distributors and importers
Compare product scope, documents, protection and packing requirements before a project quotation.
Apartment project buyers
Prepare mixed model packages where repeated room types need clear opening and room labels.
Interior fit-out contractors
Align leaf, frame, finish and hardware preparation with the approved fit-out information.
Door Package Planning for US Multifamily and Commercial Projects
A US multifamily, hotel or commercial package can include many repeated openings as well as mixed door types. A usable schedule identifies opening ID, room type, door type, quantity, handing, finish, frame, hardware preparation and packing phase. This lets the project quotation be organized around the complete opening rather than an isolated door leaf.
How should a multifamily buyer prepare a repeat-opening door schedule?
| Schedule field | Why it matters for project review |
|---|---|
| Opening ID and room type | Connects each door set to the applicable apartment, corridor, guestroom or commercial interior. |
| Quantity and handing | Separates repeated openings and swing directions before hardware preparation is reviewed. |
| Finish and frame scope | Clarifies the intended visible finish and whether the frame or jamb is included in the package. |
| Hardware and packing phase | Records the supplied template information and the labels needed for staged project packing. |
Imperial and Metric Door Dimension Coordination
Read the project drawing
US project information may be shown in inches, feet and other imperial drawing conventions.
Coordinate production dimensions
Production information may require metric coordination, but dimensions are not released from an automatic conversion alone.
Confirm critical conditions
Rough opening, leaf size, frame size, wall thickness and hardware positions are confirmed against the project information before production.
Hardware Preparation and Template Review
Preparation scope
Lock preparation, hinge positions, closer preparation and access-control preparation can be reviewed where applicable to the supplied project scope.
Project inputs
Share the buyer-supplied hardware schedule, templates, handing and machining information with the door schedule.
Confirmation point
Hardware preparation is confirmed against buyer-supplied hardware schedules, templates or approved project information.

Packing and Shipment Planning for US Projects
- Confirm opening, room and phase labels from the schedule.
- Review mixed-model packing, frame and leaf protection, quantities and CBM.
- Confirm container planning, destination and staged project requirements with the actual order configuration.
Available shipment and trade terms are confirmed against the actual order configuration and destination.
Project Documentation Review
Architectural drawings, door schedules, finish schedules, hardware schedules, templates, project specifications, required standards and authority requirements can be provided for review. VISFURN coordinates and confirms the door package against the buyer-supplied documentation before project information is finalized.
Screen a public door-replacement bid for product fit
A public “door replacement” notice does not tell you, by itself, whether a door supplier can quote the required product. First identify the specified door system—such as timber, steel, aluminium, glazed framing or another assembly—and compare it with the products and documentation actually available for the project. Do not assume that two items described as “exterior doors” are interchangeable.
Then read the full solicitation, drawings, specifications, addenda and submission instructions. Separate product supply from site work. A bid can combine doors with demolition, installation, access-control integration, concrete or threshold work, drainage and other construction. A product quotation covers only the scope it expressly prices; it is not a substitute for the prime bidder’s eligibility, licences, site attendance or contract obligations.
Swipe the bid-fit table horizontally to compare the columns.
| Screen before requesting a quote | Check in the current solicitation | Information to assemble for a supplier |
|---|---|---|
| System and material fit | Door/frame material, system type, glazing, finish, hardware and any named or performance-based requirements | Door marks, quantities, drawings, schedule revision and the exact system to be priced; ask about exclusions or proposed alternatives without assuming acceptance |
| Bidder eligibility | Required contractor licence/class, vendor registration, prequalification, bid security and who may submit | Identify the prime bidder and which portion is being priced; do not treat a product supplier’s quote as proof the bidder qualifies |
| Required site events | Mandatory job walk, site access, question deadline, addenda and bid due date/time | Confirm the latest notice and amendments. If a mandatory event has passed, ask the issuing agency whether participation remains possible |
| Product versus field work | Removal, demolition, installation, accessible-threshold changes, concrete, drainage, patching, disposal and close-out | Mark which work is in or out of the product quote, and who supplies site measurements and installation coordination |
| Controls and interfaces | Locking/access-control requirements, power/interface information, frame conditions and any related trade coordination | Supply hardware schedules, approved details and interface information; clarify which specialist is responsible for integration |
| Performance and acceptance | Buyer-cited accessibility, fire, security, finish, inspection and documentation requirements | Request only evidence applicable to the exact offered configuration. Do not infer compliance from a product image or generic description |
| Programme and logistics | Site access, delivery location, receiving window, phases, storage and coordination dates | Quantities by opening/phase, destination, requested delivery sequence and any assumptions requiring written confirmation |
If the solicitation bundles doors with construction or system integration, check whether the buyer accepts a separate product quotation, named subcontractors, alternates or lots. Do not assume split pricing is allowed. Where only a prime construction contract is accepted, the prime bidder remains responsible for the full solicitation response even when it uses a supplier quotation for product pricing.
Before requesting pricing, assemble the relevant schedule, drawings, specification sections, hardware/interface documents, finish reference, required evidence, delivery phases and destination. State the bid number and document revision so the supplier can price the same scope the estimator is reviewing. Remove confidential or restricted information before sharing bid documents.
Use the existing door supplier quote comparison guide to reconcile product inclusions and exclusions, or organize opening data with the door schedule quotation guide. For a US project quotation, send the schedule, relevant bid sections, quantities and destination through the United States project enquiry form.
Buyer takeaway: screen the product system and bid conditions separately. Confirm material/system fit, bidder eligibility, required site events and field-work boundaries before asking a door supplier to price the product portion.

Questions from USA project buyers
What should a US contractor include in a door schedule?
Include the opening ID, room type, quantity, rough opening or leaf dimensions, handing, finish, frame or jamb scope, hardware preparation, glazing where applicable, destination and packing phase.
Should buyers send rough-opening size, door-leaf size, or both?
Send both whenever available. Rough opening, door leaf, frame size and finished wall thickness are coordinated as separate project details before production information is confirmed.
How should hardware templates be coordinated before machining?
Share the buyer-supplied hardware schedule, approved templates, handing and machining information. Lock, hinge, closer, access-control or other preparation is confirmed against that project information.
Can mixed apartment or hotel door types be packed by opening schedule?
A mixed apartment or hotel door package can be reviewed against its opening schedule, product scope, dimensions, frame and hardware requirements, finish and packing plan. Opening, room and phase labels should be identified in the schedule.
What project documentation should be reviewed before quotation?
Useful documents include architectural drawings, the door and finish schedules, hardware schedule or templates, project specification, required standards and any authority requirements supplied by the buyer.
How are imperial and metric dimensions reconciled?
Imperial drawings can be coordinated into production dimensions, but rough opening, leaf size, frame size, wall thickness and hardware positions must be confirmed for the project rather than assumed from a simple conversion.
Can the RFQ begin before every hardware model is final?
Yes. An initial quotation review can begin with the available schedule and scope. Missing hardware models, templates or machining details should be clarified before final production information is approved.
How should phased delivery requirements be shown in the schedule?
Identify the required packing or delivery phase, opening IDs, room labels, quantities and destination details so the packing plan can be reviewed with the approved project configuration.
