Factors That Affect Opening Costs
Several factors may influence the cost of incorporating openings, such as doors and windows, in construction work:
- Material selection: Standard material may be less expensive, whereas a higher or custom material is more expensive but can have a longer life.
- Design Complexity: More detailed or fancy designs require more time and skills, which increases their cost.
- Size and Number: Larger openings or an increased number of them need additional materials and working hours, which increases the price.
- Installation Problems: If site conditions are inappropriate (crowded areas, rugged surfaces, etc.), installation will be more difficult and costly.
