Exactly what to quote and order.
Independent Fenestration Consultancy · Southwest Florida
An independent fenestration consultancy and purchasing advocate for homeowners and custom home builders in Southwest Florida. We document every window and door opening before it is ordered, poured, waterproofed, or installed.
The Product
The product is a single coordinated shop drawing set that functions as one source of truth for everyone who touches an opening.
Exactly what to quote and order.
Exactly how to pour and block every opening.
Exactly how to flash, seal, and set every opening.
Exactly what is being purchased.
Independence
Measured Opening works for the builder. We sell no product and accept no commissions, referral fees, marketing support, travel, or promotional consideration from any manufacturer or dealer. Our only job is to protect your budget, your schedule, and your build quality.
No product sold.
No supplier money.
Ever.
The Engagement
We establish every opening and its requirements before anything is specified or ordered.
Most projects arrive already specified by the architect, so our role is to enforce that specification exactly. Every quote is priced against the same locked set, which makes the numbers truly comparable. The builder can run up to five competitive quotes, from several dealers or as revised bids from the same ones, and we reconcile each against the set, so the decision comes down to price and delivery, not to who quietly quoted a lesser product.
The set is delivered in two coordinated parts.
The full set the shell crew pours from and the dealer orders from.
Every head, sill, jamb, and mull detail with complete waterproofing documentation, delivered as an 8.5 x 11 laminated layout book.
The Measured Opening Kit: laminated bilingual cards in English and Spanish hung at every opening, with a sign and return record and photo verification before cover.
Waterproofing
Because one set governs the pour, the waterproofing, and the set, what the builder buys is what actually installs, sealed and flashed correctly the first time.
Service Area
Measured Opening serves custom residential construction in Southwest Florida, primarily Lee, Collier, and Charlotte counties.
Pricing
Flat pricing, per counted opening. No commissions hidden in the number.
