Measure the finished condition where possible
Rough openings can change after plasterboard, plaster, tile, timber flooring, underlay or thresholds are installed. The door and frame need to suit the finished condition.
Key checks
Finished opening width and height
Wall thickness
Frame position in the wall
Floor finish on both sides
Required gap below the door
Threshold position for external doors
Skirting and architrave junctions

If the build is not finished
