Things to consider when finding a supply and install service.
Patio doors are hugely important in any property development; due to security, aesthetics and practicality. A supplier who may offer sturdy, stylish and secure commercial doors may have slow lead times and poor reviews and expertise, so you need to look for a supplier that provides high-quality doors, as well as a fast and efficient service. Consider the following when looking for your all-in-one service:
The range of external doors available
Take a look at their catalogue to see what external door supply is on offer. Look for different styles which could suit different developments and find a company with a wide range of colours to choose from. Look for a range of door types, glazing options and handle selections. See if there are options and if they offer a bespoke service.

Expertise and experience
Make sure that the door supplier has expertise in installing exterior doors, with a skilled installation team and a dedicated aftercare team. Look at their completed projects and see if they have experience completing similar work to what you require, such as installing a sliding door or bespoke commercial doors.
Project consultation service
One service which can make a huge difference to property development is a project consultation service, where potential clients can see the options available, look at prices and see what recommendations are on offer. This can also be helpful for setting budgets and timescales for installation.
Customer reviews & recommendations
Like with any major project, it's important to check out reviews from previous clients and recommendations from others in the trade. Make sure they are an expert in multi-site property developments and can handle a variety of orders efficiently.
Security
You will also need to make sure the external doors they supply are secure and that they provide the right locks for the doors on your development. This is also important for meeting required building regulation standards.
Customer service
It's important to choose a firm that is focused on customer service, easy to contact and is happy to provide you with information and advice.
Fast lead times
If a project is going to stay on schedule, knowing how long different elements of the project will take is crucial. Consider where are they based, you may want to find a local or British supplier to speed up supply times. Ask the company what their lead times are on a few options and if you have a set deadline, ask them whether this is workable. Fast lead times can put less pressure on you to finish a project on time, and this can provide reassurance that you are working with a fast, dedicated supplier. Speed is particularly important if you are working to a strict deadline.
Environmental responsibility
More and more property developers are having to consider the environmental impact of their development, from utilising eco-friendly building materials to cutting down waste. Look for a totally eco-friendly door supplier with a proven track record of continuously improving their environmental accreditations such as ISO 14001.
Quality, durability and practicality
Make sure you are satisfied with the quality of the company's work and that the doors they supply are made of the correct materials for your development.
