Follow the elevation
Match each entry design and exterior opening to the approved elevation and option set. Review material, glass, dimensions, handing and finish requirements together rather than selecting the slab alone.
Exterior doors
Coordinate the entry and exterior openings with the elevation and selected options.
Scope and approach
Resolve the complete opening
Confirm frame depth, threshold, weather exposure, sill conditions, lock preparation and surrounding trim. Review required performance documentation for the exact proposed assembly before approval.
- Entry, rear, service and garage-to-house openings as specified
- Sidelites, transoms and glazed configurations where requested
- Material-only, preparation, delivery and agreed installation boundaries
Approve substitutions before release
Keep the proposed product and configuration tied to the community specification. Any alternate, changed glass or material substitution needs the builder's approval and a documented effect on the house package.
What to bring.
- Which entry configurations belong to each elevation?
- Which openings require specific performance or assembly documentation?
- Who owns field dimensions, finishing and surrounding weatherproofing?
From review to agreed work
Plan the scope.
Review elevations and schedules
Identify the standard unit and approved alternatives for each exterior opening.
Resolve interfaces
Confirm frame, sill, hardware and adjacent work responsibilities.
Confirm the house selection
Release the approved elevation and option configuration with its current revision.
Before the next step.
Can entry choices vary by elevation?
Yes. Keep the approved design and complete configuration attached to the applicable elevation and selected house options so the entry is not inferred from the base plan.
How are required ratings confirmed?
Share the project requirements during the program review. Confirm ratings and performance against verified documentation for the exact proposed assembly before approval.
