Opening width/height and surrounding construction
TREVIK · PROJECT AUTHORITY CENTRE
Move from product interest to a controlled project specification.
Coordinate doors, transparent closures, shutters and canopies around opening geometry, wind/air/water performance, safety, access, structure, thresholds, controls and exact-system evidence.
01 · PROJECT INPUTS
Define the conditions before the exact system is released.
These inputs are deliberately upstream of model selection so the product does not dictate the brief.
Internal/external, exposure and wind criteria
Transparency, security, ventilation and weather objective
Operation frequency and manual/motorised control
Threshold, drainage and floor-level interfaces
Fire/egress/accessibility requirements where relevant
Power, controls, sensors and emergency operation
Finish, corrosion class, fixing substrate and installation responsibility
02 · EVIDENCE CONTROL
Keep project claims attached to what the evidence actually proves.
Generic declarations, outdated catalogues or unrelated certificates should not be carried into a project as exact-system evidence.
Exact-system dimensional/section data
Wind/air/water performance evidence where claimed
Glass/polycarbonate/material safety evidence
Motor/control/safety-device documentation
Fire/egress evidence only where exact product is approved for that use
Coating/corrosion evidence
Fixing/structural requirements and warranty
03 · CAD / DRAWING REGISTER
Planning references are not exact-system construction drawings.
Every drawing/model status stays visible so consultants know what can be used now and what only exists after configuration or project-specific design.
| Resource | Status | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Opening concept / planning layout | Public planning | Early scope, interface and consultant coordination only. |
| Generic technical reference / typical detail | Public planning | Explains system logic without representing an exact supplied configuration. |
| Exact-system GA / dimensional drawing | Exact-system | Issued only after the quoted system/configuration is known. |
| Native CAD / DWG / DXF | Verify availability | Availability and revision must be confirmed against the exact supplied system. |
| BIM / Revit / IFC object | Verify availability | Only described as BIM where a genuine verified native model exists. |
| Foundation / fixing / setting-out drawing | Project-specific | Depends on site/building conditions, local engineering and the selected system. |
| Services / electrical / controls interface | Project-specific | Coordinates the supplied system with local power, data, water, drainage or controls. |
04 · SPECIFICATION STARTER
Write the project around performance, interfaces and evidence.
These clauses are a project-planning structure, not a substitute for local professional specifications or exact-system documentation.
Opening and surrounding construction
System type / operation
Weather/wind/security performance
Glazing/panel/material configuration
Threshold/drainage
Motor/control/safety logic
Access/egress/fire interfaces
Finish/corrosion
Fixing/installation/submittals
05 · TENDER / RFP SCHEDULE
Ask bidders for the same controlled information.
A consistent schedule makes technical comparison easier and reduces hidden assumptions.
Opening schedule
Elevations/sections
Exposure/wind criteria
Operation/security requirements
Threshold/drainage
Controls/power
Finish
Local code/access/fire interfaces
Drawing/evidence schedule
06 · OPERATIONS & HANDOVER
Specify how the system will be maintained after delivery.
Maintenance, spares, records and inspection should be defined before purchase, especially for remote or high-use projects.
Track/roller/hinge inspection
Motor/control/sensor test
Emergency/manual operation test
Seal/weatherstrip inspection
Drainage/threshold cleaning
Glazing/panel inspection
Coating/corrosion check
Spare hardware/control register
AUTHORITY GUIDES
Go deeper on the decisions that usually control the project.
These guides sit below the owner page and above exact product selection, so search, specification and project planning all point to the same technical logic.
Large sliding vs folding architectural doors.
Compare large sliding and folding architectural doors by opening width, stacking/parking, threshold, wind/weather, hardware duty, accessibility and operation.
Read guideArchitectural opening wind, air and water performance.
Understand wind, air leakage and water penetration evidence for large doors, glazed openings, shutters and transparent closures without overextending test claims.
Read guideThreshold and drainage design for large architectural openings.
Plan thresholds, tracks, drainage, floor levels, accessibility, waterproofing and maintenance for large sliding, folding and transparent architectural openings.

Carry the authority pack into the project file.
Export the current project-control structure, then replace planning statements with exact project/system information as the design develops.
