When You Need Jobsite Field Measuring
You need field measuring when the drawings and the existing conditions don’t fully agree, which happens often on renovation and infill work. It matters most on retrofit projects where old rough openings were never standardized, on multi-building sites like apartment complexes or school campuses where openings vary unit to unit, and on any job where a measurement error would mean reordering a fire-rated or ADA-compliant assembly. Ordering off unverified dimensions is how frames arrive that don’t fit, and a wrong-size opening stalls your install crew and your schedule.
Our Jobsite Field Measuring Process
We come to your site and measure every opening scheduled for new or replacement doors and frames, recording width, height, wall thickness, and any out-of-square conditions. We check those figures against the drawings and the specification, and flag any opening where the field condition doesn’t match the plan. That data feeds directly into your material takeoff and order, so what we quote and order is what will actually fit. Field measuring is provided at no charge as part of protecting your project from costly errors.
Jobsite Field Measuring Cost in Troy
Field measuring is a free service we provide as part of building your bid package and order, not a separate line item. What determines the scope is the number of openings and the size of the site, whether it’s a single medical office or a multi-building apartment development. There’s no cost to you either way. Call (518) 274-8052 to schedule a measure for your project.
Why Choose Us
We’ve supplied and consulted on commercial door openings since 1974, and free field measuring is standard on our projects, not an upsell. Our licensed Architectural Hardware Consultant reviews flagged discrepancies against the code requirements for that opening, so a field issue gets resolved correctly the first time, not just re-measured.
Steel Krafts Frequently Asked Questions
How is field measuring different from what's on the architect's drawings?
Drawings represent design intent, while field measuring captures the as-built condition of each opening. Older buildings, additions, and multi-phase renovations frequently have openings that shifted from the original plan during construction. Field measuring catches those differences before you order, so the frame you receive actually fits the rough opening rather than the one on paper.
Do you measure existing openings for replacement doors, or only new construction?
Both. Replacement projects often need field measuring more than new construction, since existing frames and rough openings can be out of square or nonstandard after years of settling and prior repairs. We measure whatever openings are part of your scope, whether it’s a full new building or a single door replacement.
What happens if the field measurements don't match the drawings?
We flag the discrepancy and review it against the specification and applicable code before anything is ordered. If a fire-rated or ADA-compliant assembly is involved, our licensed AHC confirms what the correct opening size and hardware should be. You get the right order the first time instead of a mismatch discovered at delivery.
How far in advance should I schedule field measuring?
Schedule it as early as your site access allows, ideally once framing or the existing opening is in a stable, accessible condition. Measuring too early on new construction risks the opening shifting before rough-in is complete. Call (518) 274-8052 and we’ll coordinate timing around your project schedule.
