Door/window numbering

When door/window numbering, do you give a sliding door(made by a window fabricator) both a door *and* a window number? We create excel door schedules and dimensioned window schedule drawings.

 

A door, always, in every trade I've worked in.

In my company a door is a door regardless of the mfg.

In our company, if the door is made by the window mfr, then it gets a window tag and it goes on the window schedule. We've had problems where the GC fails to give the window rep the door schedule and all the patio doors are left out of the shop drawings. Plus, doors made by the window mfr tend to have similar details and dimensions as the windows (especially when mulled with sidelites and transoms), so it makes sense to put them on the same schedule. The mulled-together assemblies almost require that the door get a awindow tag since it's a factory-assembled door/window unit.

For us it's always been better to keep the trades together in the drawing sets.

 

It's best to classify the opening according to its function (i.e., as has been already stated: a door is a door....).

Big picture-wise, the contractor is responsible for examining all drawings and specifications to determine types and quantities of materials and their manufacture.

It isn't always wise to "help out" by scheduling items according to who makes them. This sorta' falls in the same category of those who insist on putting quatities in schedules.

 

It's also been my experiance (with custom homes) that one of the first
things to change when the budget gets tight is the high dollar doors and
windows, then the custom kitchen cabinets.....by separating the
doors/windows it tends to be easier for Joe Public to shop around.

Regarding the window and door from the same mfg, in "most cases" (going
from personal experance at least). a window mfg like ...say Andersen.
makes a french door with to side panels....side panels are actually fixed
doors not a windows.
Therma-Tru for instance a door with sidelites is a single unit, not
individual pieces, and there for listed as a door with sidelites with a
single R.O. in the Door schedule Just like the Andersen Frenchwood would be
in the door schedule.
