Choose the windows room by room.
Start with which rooms need ventilation, which should frame a view, and which get direct sun. Put windows and exterior doors on the same schedule so your builder can check their dimensions, support, floor heights, and weatherproofing together.

Design and opening context
Look at how windows and doors fit a room.
These completed-project photos show window groupings and patio-door layouts you can discuss with your designer. The size and installation details still need to be checked for your plans.

New-home installation FAQs
Questions before ordering new-home windows.
How early should windows and doors be selected for a new home?
Begin during design development, before framing, structural, waterproofing, finish-floor, and exterior details become difficult to change. Large openings, pockets, corners, specialty shapes, and recessed sills need the earliest coordination.
Can one package include multiple materials or brands?
Yes, when the product and installation requirements support it. The schedule should still coordinate sightlines, colors, glass appearance, grids, hardware, interior finish, exterior finish, warranties, and service responsibility.
Who confirms structure and code requirements?
Your builder and the appropriate design or engineering professionals must confirm the structure and applicable code requirements. The installer also needs the approved dimensions, flashing details, and manufacturer instructions. Agree on those responsibilities before ordering.
What should be reviewed before the order is released?
Confirm the opening schedule, exact manufacturer and series, dimensions, operation, handing, glass, finish, hardware, screens, sill or threshold, ratings, drawings, installation details, delivery plan, and written warranty.
