New Home Build in Australia: When to Order Windows & Doors

Getting the timing right for your window and door order is crucial for a smooth build. Order too early, and design changes cause issues; order too late, and your project faces costly delays. This guide explains the key stages so you can plan with confidence.

The Critical Path for Windows & Doors

For most Australian builds, window and door specifications should be finalised and orders placed shortly after the framing stage begins. This is the key trigger point.

Your Build Timeline: Key Stages & Actions

The simplified sequence below shows where your window and door decisions fit in.

Key Questions Answered

Q: Why is the framing stage so critical?
A: This is when theoretical opening sizes on plans become real, measurable spaces. Ordering based on precise frame measurements is the only way to guarantee correct fit and avoid delays.

Q: What are the risks of ordering late?
A: It directly delays the Lock-Up Stage. Without windows and doors installed, the interior cannot be protected, and all subsequent trades (electrical, plumbing, plasterboard) are put on hold.

Q: What if I want special features?
A: Features like flush-floor tracks for sliding doors or specific thresholds must be planned during the slab design phase. Early consultation is essential.
