Q: How ready should my surrounding opening be for dimensions to be taken? A: Preferred to be a finished/finalized opening when taking dimensions but if it is for an un-built space, we would work off HOLD to dimensions and you and or your Framing Carpenter agree on and have signed off so the opening is built to the dimensions that all the parties agree and the Glass was the same. Custom finishes, custom hardware and custom details will add to the lead time.
