Is Your Door 11' or 11' 2"?

Where’s that 11' 2" measured from—slab to beam? Slab to ceiling? Bottom of finish floor?

This isn’t 1990s architecture anymore. You can’t just “add for bucking” and call it a day. In modern design, everything is driven by the structural drawings—and you can’t just shift beams around without major planning.

So who’s responsible for aligning finish floor elevations with structural heights and window schedules?

Spoiler: It’s not the window dealer.
Most are just quoting what’s on the schedule, which is often the least accurate reference in the whole set.

Even worse, you might run into manufacturer limitations at 120", 130", or 132" that affect your layout, approvals, and cost—especially if you don’t catch them early.

I help builders proactively plan these transitions and coordinate glazing system heights with finishes, cladding, ceiling details, and structural realities—before it becomes a field conflict.
