When this work is needed
A replacement programme needs more than a door count. The brief should capture the existing findings, doorset requirements, surrounding construction and access constraints so a specialist can assess the work.
Typical projects
- Replacement following an inspection recommendation
- Planned refurbishment of residential common areas
- A coordinated doorset programme across an estate
What needs to be established
The contractor should establish the required doorset specification and supporting evidence, installation scope, making-good requirements and handover records. Identify who will approve the specification and any interfaces with other work.
A useful starting brief
Door quantities, existing survey, building use and proposed programme.
Add the town, UK nation, building use, procurement stage and intended timescale. Unknown quantities and budgets can be clarified later.
